Memphis Rhythm & Praise! This is where Praise & Worship Finds its Soul! Crossway serves up Contemporary Praise & Worship with the unique flavor Beale Street... with a Blues, Soul, and Rock-n-Roll feel.

CROSSWAY writes, arranges, performs, engineers, & produces its own music in its own studio on a continual basis. Amazed is our 2nd CD release and we have plans to release 3 more this year! Memphis is a melting pot of cultures and the birthplace of rock, soul, rhythm & blues, & gospel. Our CDs and concerts are reaching people in the streets -- the unchurched -- and bringing them into the presence of God through worship they can relate to, maybe for the first time -- music that has found them right where they are, outside church walls, and helped them communicate with God in a fun and personal way.

Doug Simmers (Pastor & Worship Leader at Crossway Church) has taught and led worship at Vineyard Worship Conferences in the mid 90's. In the late 70's & 80's Doug & his brothers had a CCM band called "Daybreak" that opened for Russ Taff, Greg X. Volz (Petra), David & the Giants, & Eddie DeGarmo. They had 3 songs chart in the nation's top 20 of CCM before deciding to put recording aside for a while to raise families & become the Worship Team for Crossway Church.

Vince Leffler, an accomplished musician and recording artist from California, has played in numerous Christian and secular mainstream bands over the past 15 years. He moved to Memphis, found Crossway and his bride in 1992. Vince joined CWB in 1994 playing bass and guitars and in 1999 he began engineering & producing our music along with Tom Browning (bio coming soon).
