Worship Leaders
The Wiebes - Shane & Angela
Shane and Angela Wiebe have been singing together since the day they met. Their first adventure, long before they began dating, was a choir tour of Germany, Austria, and Switzerland in the year 2000 with the Columbia Singers. The group was led by Tony Funk, who would end up bringing the couple together again two years later. As the story goes, Angela needed a pianist to accompany her on violin. She called Tony for the number of someone who could help her last minute, and was given Shane’s. The couple began performing regularly together, started dating in June of 2002, and were married in December of 2003. The following March Shane began his journey to a TOP FIVE spot on CTV’s hit television show, “Canadian Idol”, where he had the privilege of working with musicians like Lionel Richie and Gordon Lightfoot. In June of 2009, “THE WIEBES” officially formed and released, “Into Your Light”, which won “Inspirational Album of the Year” at the 2010 Covenant Awards. In December 2009 The Wiebes released their Christmas record, “Christmas With You”. The album was nominated for two Covenant Awards, and ended up on the Canadian Top 50 Radio Charts among artists like Michael Buble and Elton John! In 2012, The Wiebes released their fourth studio album, “The Hymns Collection”, which brought them their second Covenant Award. Their fifth album, “Arise O Sleeper” was released in June 2014 and features internationally renown worship leader Brian Doerksen, as well as Fraser Campbell, and Shane and Angela’s daughter, Joelle. The Wiebes currently reside in Stratford, Ontario with their two children: Joelle (8) and Josiah (6) who frequently travel with them on their tours.
To quote Shane and Angela: “Quite simply, we do what we do because we love music, we love each other, and we love God! We aren’t afraid to have fun, and be outright ridiculous at times, but when it all comes down to it, we can’t help but talk about our faith in Jesus Christ. He alone is our hope. He alone is our security in an unpredictable world. He’s the author of everything beautiful, and the healer of anything broken. He is our best friend, and our only means to salvation. If you haven’t met Him, you should introduce yourself. Trust us, He’s listening”.
