Worship Leader

Breakaway Worship is a collective of worship leaders, musicians, and songwriters dedicated to lifting high the name of Jesus on the campus of Texas A&M. Beyond leading worship at Breakaway Ministries every Tuesday night, Breakaway Worship exists to write songs that are for students, and about the life change those students experience at Breakaway. Their hope is that years from now, students would still be singing a chorus of a song from college because it marked such a powerful moment in their lives.
With the release of their debut album, “More Than Anything”, Breakaway Worship hopes to see a generation of young believers chasing after the heart of God. Believing that these songs can carry the same message close to home at Texas A&M and around the world. After leading worship on Tuesday nights at Breakaway Ministries for years, Breakaway Worship now hopes that these song would bring life and hope wherever they go.
