Jeannie Furst - Guitar - Lead vocals has been a songwriter for most of her life. She began writing gospel music as a teenager and it has been her passion to encourage others in their own personal relationship with Jesus Christ through music. Her writing style is heavily weighed by using scripture and her hope is that people will be drawn to Christ by listening to the words that have been written on her heart.
Jeff Furst -Drums - Lead Vocals - Back up vocals has been involved in music since high school. He found that his talents can be used for a much higher purpose! His love for the Lord shines through as he plays drums and adds his sweet and versitile voice to the Furst Light mix.
Greg Ward - Lead Guitar adds in his gift for melodic harmonies on the electric or acoustic guitar. He really gives glory to the Lord with his talents and offers a wonderful ability to orchestrate the original songs that Furst Light provides. Greg has written some of the material that Furst Light offers and his lyrics have encouraging messages that help guide people to Jesus.
Eric Coleman - Bass completes and rounds out the sound of the Furst Light band. He has played bass for other ministries and Furst Light is delighted to have him on board! His calm and steady heart make people want to know Jesus more.

Thanks for the add my friend. Hey, Jesus is alive ! "And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified. He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him:lo,I have told you." Matthew 28:5-7 Have you talked to Him today ?
