"Living Word Christian Center is a church first," Living Word worship pastor Brandon Lyles said. "We know how to make great worship music, but we look forward to the expertise and experience Syntax brings to the table. This way, we can continue to be a church first."

"Living Word Christian Center has created a really good project that has the potential to impact listeners far beyond the walls of their own facility," Syntax CEO Tim Trudeau said. "One of the things I truly enjoy about my job is playing matchmaker between new music and new listeners."

Since 2007, The Fifth Service has served as a worship group of Living Word Christian Center. The Syntax team is excited about the future of The Fifth Service, as well as other Living Word talent which will be announced soon.

"The reviews of Syntax by other churches like ours have been exceptional," Lyles said. "We feel like our partnership with Syntax will expand our reach and impact of the message we're called to bring." "I've known the guys at Syntax for over 13 years," Living Word director of social media Philip Rood said. "We've worked together for a long time, and when I heard the new album by The Fifth Service, I knew I had to get Syntax involved so it could get the exposure it deserved."

"Philip has always had his finger on the pulse of music," Trudeau said. "We were reminded of this when we heard the new record, Proven, and are excited to partner with both Philip and the rest of the team at Living Word Christian Center."
