Better Together

THEIR STORY

Steve and Rachel Ragsdale are a living testimony of how God can bring two people together from halfway around the world to proclaim the timeless truth of His awesome love and power. They first met as teenagers when Steve was visiting the exotic city of Calcutta, India. Little did they know then that twenty years later their paths would cross again in the United States and out of that second meeting a beautiful friendship would develop and grow into a life-long commitment.

God has not only brought Steve and Rachel together as husband and wife, but has also united them as seasoned performers and worship leaders to bring their musical excellence and depth of Christian experience to the church. For many years audiences across the United States, Canada and other parts of the world have been blessed by Steve’s outstanding voice and compelling songs, and people have been deeply touched by Rachel’s gifted piano artistry.

Steve is a recording artist who comes from a rich background of singing, writing, arranging and producing and is well known in the Christian music field for his musical skills and creativity. He has been singing professionally in the Los Angeles area for many years as a studio session singer on commercials and major motion pictures as well as backing up well known recording artists. Also, for nineteen years he sang with the Haven Quartet and was a featured soloist with the internationally known Haven Radio Broadcast for twenty five years.

Rachel is a gifted concert pianist, accompanist and recording artist in her own right. Even at a very early age she gained wide recognition for her musical abilities and accomplishments. Her dynamic yet sensitive arrangements of familiar hymns and contemporary gospel songs are wonderfully moving and inspiring.

As gifted communicators, Steve and Rachel are equally at home in both contemporary and traditional settings. Whether in concert or leading in worship, the primary focus of their ministry is to encourage people to draw near and experience a more intimate relationship with the Lord. You will be strengthened and challenged in your faith as you allow the love of Jesus to touch your life through their heartfelt music and message.
