If you’re craving that 70’s and early 80’s hard rock vibe with a strong Christian message, then Petra is the band for you. Their lyrics contain a strong, unashamed Christian message that clearly originates straight from the Bible. It's like Sunday school with a grove rock sound.

Petra is from Fort Wayne, Indiana. Their current band members are John Schlitt - lead vocals; Bob Hartman - guitar and backing vocals; Greg Bailey - bass guitar, cello, and backing vocals; Cristian Borneo - drums, and John Lawry - keyboards, keytar, and backing vocals.
