FEATURING

Vertical Worship

We have been born into the middle of the story. We know the beginning, and we have read the histories of those who have gone before us. We have seen God’s plan play out and the redemption brought to us through Jesus Christ. And like those who read ahead, skipping to the last chapter, we know how all of this will end. Christ defeated death and promised us a future with Him forever. We are children of a Kingdom that will never end, and the future for us is bright. How unique to be living our lives in between what has been accomplished and what has been promised. Between the already and the not yet.

Christy and Nathan Nockels

Pastor Christy began singing and writing music in the church from a young age, as the daughter of a pastor in Oklahoma. She met Nathan in 1993, at the Christian Artists Seminar in Estes Park, Colorado, and they married in 1995. An invitation from Louie Giglio came later to join the first ever Passion Conference in Austin, Texas, which flourished into a fruitful fifteen years of writing and leading worship for the Passion movement. Christy’s devotion to creating earnest and honest songs prepared her to be an integral author and voice in songs like “Healing Is In Your Hands,” “Waiting Here For You,” “Let It Be Jesus,” and “Lord, I Need You.” She recently launched a podcast entitled “The Glorious in the Mundane,” which is intentionally focused on helping women in all places in life, finding the wonder and awe of God in the moments of the here and now.

Nathaniel Nockels is an American Christian musician and worship leader, who is a producer, songwriter, and composer of sacred music. He has received seven GMA Dove Awards, for his production. Nockels and his wife, Christy, were members of the worship-duo, Watermark.

Christy & Nathan live in Franklin, Tennessee with their three beautiful children: Noah, Elliana, and Annie Rose. When they’re not focused on parenting, producing, and writing, they love to spend time making their house, affectionately called Keeper’s Branch, a place of rest for their family. Whether it be a season of growth, pruning, or rest, God has been faithful to carry Christy and Nathan and give them songs and prayers for the sharing.

Andi Rozier

Andi Rozier has been a part of the Harvest Bible Chapel community since 2001 and he currently serves there as a Worship Pastor. Andi leads and writes songs for Vertical Worship and he is committed to honoring the Lord through worship ministry. “Open up the Heavens”, “Lamb of God”, “Found in You” and “Over all I Know” are just a few songs Andi has been a part of writing with Vertical that are sung in churches around the world. Andi is married to his wife Joanna since 2005 and they have 4 kids, Sam, Ben, Adley, and Jesse.

Pastor YPJ

Pastor YPJ is the senior pastor of Faith Alive Ministries(F.A.M.) in South Bend, Indiana. He served as youth pastor under his parents for over a decade and became the senior pastor of F.A.M. in 2011. Pastor YPJ is also a Grammy nominated song writer and musician, social media guru, television producer, and TV personality. His innovative leadership style and strong desire to bridge the gap between generations continues to catapult his ministry to higher heights. Pastor YPJ speaks for diverse churches, conferences, universities, and corporations across the country. However, he makes it known there is no place like home, and when he is in South Bend, IN, he devotes his time, energy, and finances to building the Kingdom of God at F.A.M.
