J209

J209 is the nonprofit, Jesus vocal band from Utah. Anchored in the words of Jeremiah 20:9, their mission is simple: ignite the fire of faith in Christ in the rising generation. Wielding soulful arrangements of today’s biggest Christian hits, these 7 singers are ready—sharing music and faith like fire wherever God calls.

Each member of J209 has felt the love of Jesus Christ in their life and is passionate about sharing it with every open heart. While the world grows increasingly darker, they believe—with the help of God—music can make a difference. Having left school, work, and many other professional pursuits, J209 came together with the hope of inspiring a community of followers who will join them in reigniting faith like fire wherever they may be.
