Faith First, a Christian contemporary singing group, began their combined ministry in 1994. Although the quartet wasn't formed until they were all enrolled at Pacific Union College (PUC) in Northern California, they all began their musical outreach in their local churches and their Christian high school. Over the years they have recorded 4 CDs and a DVD, with their most recent CD featuring all original songs from the group. With Andrea, Marc, Scott and Shani each having growing families of their own, recent years have seen less travel and more time invested in their local churches and their families. But they still love to keep their eyes open for those special opportunities that come along to bless audiences with the sound that thousands have come to know and love.
