theSurrendering

theSurrendering is a not-for-profit musicianary ministry. The acoustic, worship, and original Christian music duo is husband and wife, Joe and Rebecca Congleton. The couple has served as worship leaders at their home church, Harvest Chapel Tri-County, in Williamsport Indiana since the church was founded in 2008. In August of 2013, they stepped out into full-time music-ministry, traveling nationwide, as the Lord leads, to bring the message and love of Christ to the unsaved and to the believer, through music, teaching and Christian service. Joe and Rebecca have chosen to depart from the traditional mechanics of the Christian music industry, in order to more sacrificially surrender their talents and lives to the true calling of Christ and abandon self-promotion and the search for “success”. Although they have been called to function differently than the typical “professional” Christian musician, they simply see it as a unique calling, not necessarily a higher one. They have formed valuable and lasting relationships with many musicians and industry professionals, who they greatly admire and respect as fellow workers in the Kingdom. theSurrendering has had the honor of performing with Fireflight, 7eventh Time Down, Ashes Remain, NeedtoBreathe, Jars of Clay, Plum, Jonny Diaz, Seventh Day Slumber, Nine Lashes, Shine Bright Baby, Children 18:3, and many more amazing bands and artists. As music-missionaries, Joe and Rebecca, and their two children, will be sent-out with missionary support. They will not be pursuing record deals, making expensive videos or charging hefty performance fees. They will be offering their lives and talents for whatever offering or donation is presented, in whatever place they are needed, to whomever needs to hear the message they bring. Eclectic, acoustic, Christ-centered, influenced by modern worship, folk, roots, Americana, alternative, and rock. Currently touring U.S. as musicianaries.
