#MBThrowback

Christian rock band

Although our idea of what’s all that and a bag of chips has shifted since the ’90s, young people still express the desire to be Jesus freaks through music.

Do you know the names of the band and/or the people in this photo (which we suspect is from the 1990s)? Help CMBS identify them by emailing identifying information to archives@mbchurches.ca.

UPDATE

Members of the band got in touch to fill in the gaps in our knowledge.

The name of the band is “Life Forever”, a Kansas City area based band from the 80’s and 90’s, Byron Funk wrote via email. 

Keyboard – Russ Friesen, bass guitar – Byron Funk, drums – Carson Richert, guitar – Steve Friesen. Several band members are still involved in Community Bible Church (MB) in Olathe, Kan.
