Worship Band in Hand was conceived while app designer Lee Bridges was visiting a family member's small church. Lee's experience in the Christian Music Industry, working with artists such as MercyMe, Phil Wickham, Paul Baloche, Bebo Norman, Rush of Fools, Tenth Avenue North, Newsboys, Third Day, and many others, led him to think that there should be a way for churches of any size to have a more powerful sound in their worship music. After the idea had been formed, Lee designed the app over the course of a year!
Now, as part of the MediaComplete Family, Worship Band in Hand has joined a company that strives to equip churches with all the tools they need to add another dimension to their worship. As innovators in church technology, MediaComplete created MediaShout over a decade ago. The company continues to lead with tens of thousands of churches using MediaShout as their Worship Presentation Software.
