ABOUT THE MOVIE
Praise Band: The Movie is the funny, yet touching story of one band's
efforts in a small town church. Through their growing music ministry,
the band not only reaches out to their community, but also grows in
their own individual walk with God.
Matt Young (Adam Melton), the new worship leader, is hired by Pastor
James Monroe (Dana Bryan) to serve Crossroad Community Church when
their music director of 30 years suddenly retires. But accepting this
job means Matt has to move, leaving behind everyone he has ever known;
friends, family and especially longtime girlfriend Patty Hayes (Ashley
Bryan).
Immediately, these young church leaders meet with much opposition
from members of their congregation who still cling to traditional
roots and their familiar worship service. Led by church treasurer
Wayne Wilson (George Hamilton IV), the congregation resist the idea
of change and Matt's new style of guitar driven music.
Despite resistance, Matt quickly assembles an unlikely group of talented
musicians, Mark Lewis (Justin Ricketts), Luke Daniels (Dave Yelverton),
John Collins (Jeff Luckadoo) and Wayne Wilson's granddaughter Ginny
Taylor (Makenzie Little), each dealing with their own unique set of
life's issues. Together, they find a common bond and unite a dwindling
flock through their daily walk with God.
Praise Band... on Wednesday night they're average, but on Sunday morning
they rock as they're praising God!
Produced and Directed by Grammy Award Nominee and Dove Award Winner
Dave Moody.
