Grace Revolution Band

Grace Revolution consists of Margaret Graham, Clayton Nunweiler & Todd James. While playing music and worshiping together over the last few years, both at Harvest Christian Fellowship Church and through city events, the three musicians that make up this exuberant band decided to intentionally form Grace Revolution in May 2012. Margaret, Clay and Todd are all worship leaders, musicians and songwriters. The goal is to touch as many lives as possible with the grace and love of God through their meaningful lyrics, tight instrumentation, excellent vocals, and inspirational interactions with those with whom they engage.

“Grace Revolution is a worship team that is on-fire for the Lord!” commented Philip & Agnes Chan, after attending the MTC Worship Weekend with Grace Revolution Band in November. “We saw great anointing on them. We totally indulged ourselves unto the Throne Room of God’s presence through their worship services.”

Lindsay Kelsall exclaimed, “This recent Worship Weekend with Grace Revolution was amazing! I found the band members to be very passionate, open, honest and authentic. They are also INCREDIBLY talented and offered great tips and demonstration (through their leading of worship) of how to inspire and reach others with worship music.” Throughout the weekend Grace Revolution played a combination of upbeat and more intimate acoustic sets. Band members also led break-out sessions and spoke in both large and small group settings. “I certainly left the weekend feeling inspired, revived and like I'd learned valuable skills that I believe will make me better at leading others in worship. I definitely felt God's presence and that He is doing amazing work through Grace Revolution,” Kelsall added.

Grace Revolution Band combines skill and musical excellence with an authentic heart for the Holy Spirit, and seeing the kingdom of God realized. "I always enjoy being with Grace Revolution Band. Their heart for the Lord and for His church shines through their lives, their words and their music," says Allan Pole, Pastor of New Beginnings Church in NE Calgary.

MTC had the privilege of hosting them at our Worship Weekend in November 2014 and we are pleased to welcome them back for a concert on Saturday June 6 at 7:30pm.

In 2014, Grace Revolution Band’s album “King of Love” was nominated for a Gospel Music Association of Canada Covenant Award for Praise and Worship Album of the Year. They also won the Grand Prize for the 2014 Break Forth Artist Competition.

They have performed at YC, Break Forth, and churches & events all over southern Alberta. Their single “Beautiful Lamb” has been played on Shine FM.

Margaret is originally from Northern Ireland. She came to Canada with her fiancé (now husband), Richard, in 1982, and a short time later the two became Christians and began to serve in the local church. In a 7 year period, both Margaret and Richard grew in their ministry abilities and served as leaders in Children’s Ministry, Youth, Young Adults, Pastoral Care and of course Worship. Eventually they were appointed associate pastors and not long afterwards they were sent out to plant Harvest Christian Fellowship Church in NW Calgary. Margaret has served as the director of Worship at Harvest Christian Fellowship Church for over two decades. She has a vision “to find, raise up, train and release tomorrow’s worship leaders, today!” and a heart for mentoring and developing leaders.

Todd James is a master on the keyboard, piano, acoustic guitar while also being an accomplished vocalist. At the age of 16, Todd felt the Lord call him to join Harvest Christian Fellowship Church. Todd grew a great deal through mentoring relationships and leading worship alongside gifted worship leaders. In 2011, Todd entered a season of prolific songwriting. Whenever he would sit down at the piano to worship the Lord, God would give him a new song as He spoke to Todd of His love and grace and forgiveness. In his fourth year of university, having intended to become a medical doctor, Todd felt the call of God very strongly to follow Him into the plans He had for his life. He subsequently left school and began to seek God for the future. Todd loves to enter the presence of the Most High through worship and to lead others to do the same. God’s presence in worship brings hope, healing, transformation, freedom, and joy. In November 2014 Todd released a solo album entitled “Sonship”.

Clayton Nunweiler grew up in a small town outside Calgary, Alberta, then moved into the big city during his tween years and hasn’t looked back. Clayton started his musical journey on the Youth Worship Team as a singer at fourteen. By the age of seventeen he was leading his peers into worship, started to learn the guitar at age eighteen and played his first song in front of a crowd at nineteen. Clayton joined Harvest Christian Fellowship Church in the summer of 2003, and has been playing alongside Margaret Graham as her lead guitar player and one of her co-leaders ever since. With a passion for worshiping the King of kings, he shows his love for the Lord through his music, his playing and his life.
