Go Deep Ministries was founded by Michael and Sherrie Howell in 1999. For 10 years they have traveled the world, lifting high the name of Jesus through leading worship and teaching.

The name Go Deep comes from a passage in 2 Cor 2:10: “The Spirit, not content to flit around on the surface, dives into the depths of God, and brings out what God planned all along.” (MSG) We believe there is always more to know and experience with God. This life is a journey. The apostle Paul refers to it as a race. Through our lives and music we hope to inspire others to pursue God beyond what they may have heard and allow God to reveal Himself to them in a personal way.

Throughout the years we have been blessed to work with some of the most amazing guys (and girls) on the planet. From time to time you may see a different face on stage with Go Deep. Our heart is to maintain a sense of community with other musicians who have a heart of worship and draw on other’s gifts and talents. (Meet the current touring lineup below.)

Leading worship is the primary function of the band. It is their desire that times of corporate worship become catalysts that draw people into a "deeper" walk with the Lord and lead to a "lifestyle of worship". Retreats and conferences are home to Go Deep through the spring and summer months. "All Generations" church services have also become a major focus for the band. As Michael intermingles Scripture in extended times of worship, in these intimate "holy moments", they are seeing families and relationships restored. In more of a "concert" setting (still keeping worship the focus) they have been privileged to share the stage with some great Christian artists including: The Afters, Barlow Girl, By the Tree, Chris Tomlin, David Crowder Band, Disciple, Tree63, Matthew West, Sanctus Real, Superchic(k) and others.

Breaking through generational barriers, Go Deep has been accepted by audiences both young and old, becoming somewhat of a "bridge" across generational gaps. They have been honored to lead worship at conferences preceding some of today's foremost ministers including John Bevere, Jesse Duplantis, R.W. Shamboch, Adam McCain, Dennis Burke, Terry Mize, Kenneth & Gloria Copeland, Mylon LeFevre, Jerry Savelle and Jeremy & Sarah Pearsons.

They have appeared several times on the Daystar Network, TBN and Sky Angel.

Quotes about Go Deep:

"I am a GO DEEP fan! Michael, Sherrie and the guys have developed a style of praise and worship that is unique, anointed and fun! We have ministered together on several occasions over the last few years and I always enjoy the way that they just simply usher me right into the presence of God. I have also witnessed their humility and integrity of heart. I believe that they are called and anointed to accomplish in these last days what most young musicians aren't even aware of.
My son in law, Peter Furler, is the leader of the NEWSBOYS. Almost 20 years ago I helped the NEWSBOYS get started. I believe that GO DEEP has that same intangible freshness."
Mylon Le Fevre

"Strong vocals prevail on songs proficiently written... Without sounding like another U2 clone, the band manages to embody a passion not unlike the rock super group".

"Go Deep is the real deal. True worship is the result of really living a life of love. Go Deep is not just another worship band; they are a band of worshippers. They live what they sing and that makes it a true worship experience."

"Michael & Sherrie Howell, along with Go Deep, have been a great inspiration to our church body. Their ability to be flexible works well with the diverse mixture of needs they have met for us. They have ministered affectively to our youth and adults in various settings including joint services with the North Texas Youth Department of the Assemblies of God along with Southwestern Assemblies of God University. Their name is more than a catchy moniker; it is a lifestyle for them. To experience a service with them is to be in a setting where the promptings and flow of the Holy Spirit are followed."

"I believe that Go Deep being here sparked in the hearts of our kids just how much they have wandered away from God. God is finally moving again. It's like cold water on the hottest day! Thank God."
