Hire a Christian band to bring uplifting music to your church service, private event, or community gathering. Find Christian bands for hire near you, with profiles, pricing, and FAQs to help you book with confidence.
A Christian band, also known as a praise band, is a musical group that performs songs featuring faith-based lyrics and themes. While Christian bands play in all genres—from hip-hop to punk—they’re most frequently associated with pop and rock. Some Christian singers and Christian rock bands even play music that’s popular with mainstream, non-religious audiences.
On average, professional Christian bands cost $400-$700 for a one-hour performance. This price will vary depending on your location, the performance length, the size of the band, and their experience level. When contacting local bands, include as many essential event details as possible to receive the most accurate quote.
Every Christian band will have their own repertoire of songs from which they build their set list for events. This may include a mix of original songs and covers of songs by popular Christian artists. Review their full song list in advance and let them know which tunes you’d like to be included at your event.
If there’s a specific song you’d like performed that is not already on their set list, many Christian cover bands will be willing to learn it if given enough advance notice. Discuss your request with the band before booking to make sure they will be able to accommodate you.
Your Christian band will likely provide their own musical instruments and equipment. That said, some bands might look to you or your venue for supporting equipment like speakers or electrical outlets. When contacting a praise or worship band for hire, clarify what they’ll need before your event and build in enough time for a sound check to ensure a great performance.
Your Christian band will perform live, but whether or not they use backing tracks in their performance depends on the group you book. Some bands incorporate backing tracks in their sets to include elements that are challenging to recreate live—like samples, backup vocals, or electronic elements. Other bands find that going without a backing track helps them create an authentic atmosphere. As you're browsing potential bands for your party, you’ll be able to ask them which style of performance they prefer.
Christian music bands and worship bands perform at various events, including church services, worship nights, conferences, and youth retreats. They’re also a great fit for weddings, community festivals, and private celebrations where faith-based music can enhance the atmosphere.
