"The Many" joins VanFUMC for worship!

The Many.

Drawing on indie pop and gospel influences, The Many makes music to help give voice to
faith and doubt, questions and fears, laments and longings, music that speaks to a non-
violent God, a Jesus who is with us and for us, and to a Spirit that can't be easily defined or
controlled. It's music for a movement of resistance to hatred and division, for
reconciliation and restoration, and music that always reminds us "we are on this earth to
love."
The Many is an indie, eclectic music collective from Chicago singing music of faith and doubt,
hope and lament. Gospel, R&B, Pop, Singer/Songwriter. It's all in the mix. The members of The
Many come together around their shared love of music and commitment to honest expressions
of faith, peace-making, economic, racial and climate justice and LGBTQ+ inclusion.  The Many
sing original songs made for reflection, for protest, for healing and worship. They are songs
made for singing with each other, in churches, in living rooms, in basements and
bars…anywhere, everywhere… in spirit and in truth. With lyrics born from Scriptures, from
headlines, and from their own experience, this is not head in the clouds “worship music” - but
feet on the ground, heart in hands, scars revealed, wild and holy music of resistance and
reconciliation and restoration. Together, this unique group of musicians, songwriters, poets,
activists, uneasy prophets and unsaintly saints, remind us over and over again that we aren’t
alone, that God so loves every one of us, and that - we all belong here.
