Liz, Beth, Sam, Blake, and Isaac are the creative energy behind the band Blameless Child. The band was created in 2002 with siblings - Liz (guitar, lead vocals, composer), Beth (bass, vocals, composer), and Sam (drums, composer) wanting to communicate their feelings through music ... so What motivated them to begin the band?

As life evolves so did "Blameless Child" music became a passion for the teens. Voice, guitar, and drum lessons were pursued. A second CD was made and produced by Good Shepherd Studios out of Chico, CA. A ministry developed as “Blameless Child” led High School Worship, played at Juvenile Halls, and ministered to people of all ages with their music. In 2006 "Blameless Child" traveled almost 5000 miles to spread GOD's word through music all over California. Blameless Child is more than a band it is a minsitry - not only do they play their music at venues, they lead worship, pray, give their testimony, hand out free Bibles, and intermix with kids and adults.
In the summer of 2006 Blameless Child added two new band members - their younger brother Isaac (key board, vocals, and cowbell, etc...) And good friend Blake who plays an awesome lead guitar - Liz says, "We are excited to have Blake and Isaac as part of Blameless Child! They add more dynamics to our music! Blameless Child is committed to speak boldly for the LORD Jesus!!
All the band members of Blameless Child love the LORD and they each have made commitments in their lives to serve HIM! Blameless Child is a high energy band and encourages your involvement.
MESSAGE FROM THE BAND
Liz says: The first song written by Blameless Child was the song, "Blameless Child." It's a catchy folk, pop, song and simply expresses our love and gratitude for what God has done in our lives, it also proclaims Jesus as a Blameless child of God." The song "Different" is a guitar/bass powered song that challenges Christians' to take a stand and to be different from the world in a positive way. This song celebrates the uniqueness of each person in the light of God's love.
All five band members are believers in Jesus Christ.
LIZ says my favorite verse in the Bible is this; 2 Corinthians 12:9 "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness."
I'm a very stubborn, hardheaded person, and at times I seem to go around trying to be strong and denying that I have weaknesses. I often forget that it is Christ who lives in me, and that I need to die of self. It's so hard for me to admit that I am weak, but God has made it clear to me that HE is strong; HE has given me grace, and that I can do all things through HIM. In my heart I know that I have to trust Him - God is wonderful! He has always been there in every situation in my life and He has always been faithful to me. He has shown me that the painful times happen so I can see that Jesus is my only hope. He gives all who believe in HIM, peace, love, and new life.
In our society, people go through things that are awful... and they try to ease their pain with things that hurt them even more like drugs, sex, alcohol, and life destruction. I hope you will see that you don't have to turn that way. You can instead turn to Christ who will surely fix your brokenness. He is waiting for you, and loves you so much.
So do you believe me? Are you saying to your-self - yea, same old Christian stuff I have heard before - what do these guys know about anything?
Well, let us tell you...
Sam: (age 17)
I'm adopted, and my biological sister is Beth. Both of my birth parents were drug addicts and abusive to me. My birth parents were in and out of jail all the time. I lived with them until I was two years old and then the court system took me away from them and the abuse I experienced. God gave me with a new start, a new Christian family, and because of them leading me to Jesus Christ I was baptised when I was eight years old. My dad (who was a Pastor) baptised me . I'm very happy and blessed!
Beth. (age 16)
I'm adopted too, and as you can see, (Sam's my biological brother) my birth family was not the best in the world. I pray for them, and I hope one day they may understand what real love is… I was only 15 months old when I was adopted, but I had a lot of anger problems that I had to get over because I was abandoned as a baby. Since being adopted I've learned to value family tremendously. Not only was I adopted into a new earthly family, but most importantly into God's family too - when I was six years old I asked Jesus into my heart and I became HIS forever... my dad (who was a Pastor) baptised me in a Lake... Jesus never leaves me - good times or bad... HE gets me through it all!
Liz. (age 18)
I was adopted when I was three years old. My birth mother was an alcoholic and drug addict. She was in and out of jail for thievery, drugs, and was an alcoholic. She died of a drug overdose when I was 8 years old. I used to be angry, and felt like it was my fault. But now I realize God uses everything for good. I am blessed to have such a wonderful family that loves me and sacrifices for me more than I even know; They are my hero's. I have discovered my family relationship mirrors God's relationship with me .... I became a believer in Jesus when I was five years old, my mom lead me to JESUS - I was so excited to have Jesus in my heart - HE is always there for me... I was baptised on Easter Sunday - we were visiting a church and they were having a baptism service that evening - I told my mom I wanted to be baptised that very night - so with my Easter dress on, slip, tights and shoes off - I was baptised! One may think I was really young to understand it all and yes, I have grown up in my faith and will continue to do so... no it is not always easy to be a Christian - but Jesus suffered and there is no way my hurts could compare with what HE did for me and for all who believe in HIM!
Isaac, (age 11)
I was born into this family... well it was by a surprise... it may seem strange to you - but you see my birth mother was also my sister ... Yes, this may be hard to figure out, it was hard to figure out when I was little ... because I always wanted to think I came out of my mom's tummy... but she (my mom), kept explaining to me that my birth mother (who was also my adopted sister), got pregnant, and was not sure who my birth father was. Are you confused yet? Well, my birth mom could not take care of me - You see, my birth mother was adopted too when she was six months old by my mom and dad, so that makes her my sister. My birth mother has fetal alcohol and cannot take care of herself very well, FAE (Fetal alcohol Effect) can cause the brain to not work right. So my birth mom asked my mom and dad to adopt me. They said "yes" and adopted me right when I was born... in fact, my mom cut my umbilical cord and my dad gave me my first bottle. I have forgiven my sister (birth mother) and I love her and I am very glad I am adopted….
I became a believer when I was seven years old and I asked Jesus into my heart. My mom and dad told me about Jesus and I wanted HIM as my Savior. When I was seven years old I wanted to be baptized. I kept asking my mom and dad if I could be baptized… they said yes, but I had to wait and go to baptism class… I wanted it to happen right away. One day a few weeks before the class, I asked my mom and dad again if I could be baptized that very day … my mom said, "Isaac be patient" as we were sitting at the kitchen table talking about being baptized we heard a very loud noise at the door… all of a sudden a gust of wind blew open our closed kitchen door which banged against the wall (this had never happened before and never happened again) then my mom said GOD must want Isaac baptized tonight. So, my mom, dad, sisters, brothers, and two grandmothers, all crowded into our bathroom - we sang songs and prayed and I was baptized in our bathtub by my dad (who is a Pastor) It was a wonderful thing…
Don’t be mad at your birth parents, things probably happened to them too when they were kids. Don’t blame them… just love them, and forgive them, any way you can. If they do not believe in GOD and you do - be a witness to them. This has been a word from Isaac… I love you and God loves you too!
Blake:(age 18) (soon to be posted)
The Band says....
Blameless Child's main message, is, "Hard stuff can make you stronger. It is easy to focus in on yourself and ask why me???
All of us have experienced this... But GOD has shown us we have had to get up, get over it, and use what we learn to help other people - you can too - with Jesus' help - all things are possible!"
