Home Grown Worship Music

Austin City Life, a church plant in Austin, TX and pastored by a friend (Jonathan Dodson) has recently released a worship album. I've known about this album for some time, but I haven't had a chance to check it out. I like to support churches in creating good music, but unfortunately many churches don't do it very well. ACL, however, has created a short but excellent collection of songs, and all but two are originals. The first song "In Your Name" is rare blend of gospel and mission, and local mission at that. You can read Steve McKoy's review or just go listen to it and download yourself.
