THE 3:16 BAND

The 3:16 band is a Gospel / Christian band from the tri state valley in Ohio. Wellsville, East Liverpool and Calcutta Ohio is where the band members reside. John Chevront is the lead vocalist. Dave (Jr) Halfhill is the drummer. Pat Wolf is the keyboardist and also plays guitar and her husband Larry Wolf is the bassist. Dave Byers is the guitarist. Everyone fills in with occasional lead vocals and backup vocals. Zach Byers joins the band occasionally as time permits on guitar as he is attending Akron college and fills in with the band as he can. Bill Vassar helps the band with sound mixing and stage help.

Our purpose is to glorify and praise the King of King's, and the Lord of Lord's. Of course our name comes from the popular verse in John chapter 3 and verse 16 that reads "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." NIV John 3:16 is one of the most widely quoted verses from the Bible. It has been called the "Bible in a nutshell" because it is considered a summary of some of the most central doctrines of traditional Christianity. The verse occurs in the third chapter of John taking place in Jerusalem. Nicodemus, a member of the ruling council, comes to talk with Jesus, whom he calls Rabbi. Jesus' "miraculous signs" have convinced Nicodemus that Jesus is "from God." In reply, Jesus declares, "I tell you the truth, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again" (verses 5–6). John 3:16 summarizes Jesus' lesson to Nicodemus: that belief in Jesus is the path to eternal life. In this passage, Jesus proclaims himself the Messiah and lays out important aspects of Christian theology.
