Bio

John Lewis & Forward Motion is a band that performs Christ-centered music for the purpose of sharing the Good News of Christ and inspiring others to live a life of authentic and passionate worship of Him. Playing in the group are John Lewis (lead vocal and guitar), Charlie Coleman (drums), Stan Dudek (guitar), and Gwyn McGlammery (bass). The band just released a 5 song EP and is working on completing their first CD together. All songs on the EP are originals, and all but one were written by John. The band plays a mix of original music and covers of contemporary Christian artists. Their musical style has been influenced by a wide variety of Christian and secular artists. A few of their Christian music influences are Chris Tomlin, David Crowder, Steve Fee, Lincoln Brewster, Israel Houghton, Hillsong United, and Desperation Band.

In August of 2011 the band won 2nd place at the “Stars in His Crown” Christian Talent Search in Boone, NC, and was selected to perform at the “High Country Praise Festival” at Appalachian State University in September, 2012. The band’s music has also been featured on WBFJ Christian Radio in Winston-Salem, NC and John has been on their “Local Flavors” program twice.

Front-man John Lewis is a musician, songwriter, worship leader, and ordained minister from North Carolina. John began playing the guitar at age 13. At 14 he began performing in a Top-40 band, making money with his music before he had a driver’s license. He went on to play in many other secular groups over the years. At 15 John received Christ as Savior and at 16 he began leading worship. For the past ten years John has been in Pastoral ministry where he has developed and mentored several worship leaders who still serve in church ministry today, as well as many musicians and worship teams to serve in local churches. Currently he ministers at Day 3 Church in Granite Falls, NC as their Worship Pastor/Associate Pastor. Years of experience in secular bands and worship leading have given him the ability to lead others in corporate worship with a high level of musical excellence and crowd engagement. John lives in Wilkes County with his wife and three children.
