About Us
SHARING TESTIMONIES THROUGH SONG
The Bonner Family is far from the contemporary, traditional family. The family of 10 has been able to keep Jesus Christ as the center of their lives as members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Through their faith and love for music, they have been able to incorporate music in their respective careers. Despite residing in different states, they remain the best of friends. As they share their love for Christ and music, they hope to bless and inspire all that are compelled to listen.
