The Responding is the worship ministry of Crossroads Community Church in Vancouver, WA. Based around the simple message that Jesus is real, we are fully engaged in the work He is doing, transforming our community and our world when we simply respond to Him. The band and its songwriting community is a collection of musically-gifted artists, worship leaders and musicians from Crossroads and its extended family. Our vision is to equip and support worship leaders with quality songs and resources that can inspire worship in any context and can draw people toward life with Jesus.
The Responding Band and its songwriters have written and recorded three albums – “Your Kingdom Is Here” (2014), “No Name Is Higher” (2016), and “It’s Only You” (2019).
Artists from The Responding are available for worship events and conferences.

Albums:
It’s Only You (2019)
Jaded. Conflicted. Alienated from one another. We inhabit the shadows. Spend too long in the darkness, and we gradually grow darker too. When the light we embrace turns out to be a fractured, out-of-focus image of the light we long for, we become shadowed versions of ourselves – faint reflections of the people we could be.
How do we hang onto hope? In a world of shadows and half-truths, what can we do to restore the missing pieces of our world, and ourselves?
Jesus is the light that exposes all things for what they truly are – all our joy, all our suffering, every relationship and experience, even our very souls. It’s only in His light that everything else grows clearer.
This original worship album reminds the listener of the truth that, in a world full of insecurity, doubt and false hope, we can run to the love and hope of Jesus – giving our hearts new joy, new melodies, and new life.
Get it on Amazon, Apple Music, Spotify and CD Baby.
No Name Is Higher (2016)
Written and recorded by members and friends of our ministry and worship community, No Name Is Higher contains ten new original songs were developed to encourage real, authentic and powerful times of worship for our church family.
Through the process of arranging and putting together the record, our production team had a real sense that each of these songs were specially crafted for worship each in their own way, from the anthemic declarations of Holy Spirit Come and Over All, to the intimate moments within Clean and You Alone. We hope that, no matter where or what size the church family, the words and heart behind these songs will connect with each person and allow them to worship freely and declare the truth that no name is higher than the Name of Jesus.
Get it on Amazon, Apple Music, and Spotify.
