Mark Swayze of The Woodlands United Methodist Church and Woodlands Music
“This album speaks into Woodlands Music’s prayer that these songs are able to be used in local churches that have been praying for renewal and awakening,” says Mark Swayze. “Awakening is a momentary expression of what God is doing in our local church.”
Woodlands Music is the culmination of a vision Mark Swayze and the band have for reviving the role of worship music in the The Woodlands UMC. Woodlands Music is “hoping to create a culture and a worship movement within the Methodist people. We come from a denomination that started its movement with songs. We come from a culture of songwriters and want to begin that again, 250 years later.”

The Woodlands UMC is an evangelical Methodist church offering dynamic Christian programs for all ages, placing special emphasis on discipleship, missions and outreach.
