Sounds Like: The Steve Hantschel Worship Band has been a true inspiration for the young people at St. Catherine's High School. Not only do they give a great performance but their testimony about their faith is a witnessing that young people can relate to. The Band is setting hearts on fire through their music, which is praying twice. Their joy for the Lord, spreads like a wildfire and the students enjoy having them here at SCHS.

Steve Hantschel Worship Band is an amazing group of talented individuals that have wonderful servants hearts. It was an honor and a privilege to have them join us at Mountain of Praise. I have seen this band in concert on two other occasions and enjoyed them in the church setting as well. They are a must have at any event! Don't miss out on one of their concerts! You will be blessed eternally.

The Steve Hantschel Band recently played and led worship for one of our events – while they were certainly talented musically, their true excellence was in their Christ-centered, worshipful hearts. It was obvious that each one of these men loves the Lord Jesus and desires not only to serve Him with their music and ultimately their lives, but that they also wanted to draw everyone else into that kind of relationship with Him, too! If you are looking for a high-quality, contemporary-feeling acoustic worship group, I highly recommend the Steve Hantschel Band!

We were honored to have Steve and Emily lead our students in worship this past year. Their ability to lead worship is awesome, but even greater than that is their heart to see a generation of students come together and exalt the name of Jesus.

I met Steve and his band late at night in the middle of a blizzard in Green Lake, Wisconsin. We were organizing our winter youth retreat when, last minute, all our worship leaders cancelled. I got Steve's number from a friend, gave him a call, and a couple days later they drove 3 hours in the midst of the worst blizzard of the season just to lead us in worship, never asking how much they'd get paid, and then drove another 3 hours home. They're an honor to serve God alongside.

I can't say enough how blessed we have been through the ministry of Steve Hantschel and his worship band. One of my favorite stories is of a friend of mine who's parents made him go to Ignite:Spring Green. At the worship event, God convicted him, he chose to get serious, and he hasn't looked back since! Steve Hantschel Band's awesome heart to worship Jesus is inspiring and infectious! We need more band's with that heart!
