9th Hour - 2007 KCCM "Group of the Year"
A message of hope wrapped in an acoustic rock package!

9th Hour's 3-point mission

To reach the lost with a musical message of hope in knowing Jesus Christ (Mt. 10:6)

The "lost" come in all forms. Generally speaking most people think of the rebellious aethiest that denounces God or is at least the person that is leading a totally destructive lifestyle that separates them from God. We certainly pray that those will hear the message in the music....but in Mt 10:6 Jesus commanded the disciples to "gather the lost sheep of Israel"...those that know God but have strayed. That is our target audience.

To encourage believers to be bold in sharing their faith (Mt. 10:32)

We are not street corner evangelist, but strap a guitar on us or give us a microphone and we hope to set an example to other believers that will encourage them to be bold in proclaiming the Gospel in the manner in which God has uniquely wired them.

To "sing a new song, play skillfully and shout for joy" (Psalm 33:3)

The ultimate goal is advancement of the Gospel. The mission is not a record deal, it is not the next CD project or a full tour schedule...those are merely tools to execute the mission, a means to an end. Through a pursuit of excellence, fresh relevant content, and a heart of worship 9th Hour seeks to fulfill the command in Psalm 33:3.

9th Hour's Bio

Luke 23:44-46 - It was now about the sixth hour, and darkness came over the whole land until the ninth hour, for the sun stopped shining. And the curtain of the temple was torn in two. Jesus called out with a loud voice, "Father, into your hands I commit my spirit." When he had said this, he breathed his last.

This is what it is all about. This is when it all happened - in the 9th Hour. Jesus accepted the punishment for all of our sins. This is when everything changed for you and me! Our Savior came at just the right time - His timing was impeccable...He had PERFECT TIMING.

9th Hour's freshman release, "Perfect Timing" is nominated for the 2008 KCCM Award "Album of the Year". The highly anticipated release of "Cover Me" - 9th Hour's next full length project is in stores in the Spring of 2009.
