Narrow Path is a band of rotating members that serves as the music worship band for the Christian Church of Jasper in Jasper, Indiana.
The band currently includes: Daniel Ross (electric and acoustic guitars, mandolin & lead vocals), Kurt Neighbors (bass), Andrew Kieffner (bass), Mike Weisensteiner (drums), Phil Hostetler (acoustic guitar), Chris Bolin (acoustic guitar), Bethany Vogts (backing vocals), Kara Messmore (backing vocals), Chealsey Patton (backing vocals) and Angie Stewart (keyboard & piano).
The band plays a variety of styles to help serve a community that appreciates a variety of styles. If forced to fit into a mold, however, one could describe the band as having an overall modern pop/rock sound.
The band formed at CCJ in mid-2002 and chose the moniker Narrow Path in July 2005. The band’s style has evolved over the years in an effort to properly serve its church home.
The band’s recording history began in August 2007 when some members began recording “The 99 Days EP,” a collection of 5 cover songs. The EP was part of CCJ’s “99 Days” campaign to raise funds to begin an orphanage in Haiti. Though this was a limited release, the recording lives on as free downloads on CCJ’s web site, www.ccjasper.com.
Several members of the band began recording a second CD in March 2008. The members decided this recording would be a Christmas album. “Far As The Curse Is Found” was released on Nov. 9, 2008 in physical and digital formats.
Narrow Path recordings do not always feature every member of the band as time constraints and participation levels vary among members. “Far As The Curse Is Found” features Ross, Neighbors, Weisensteiner as principal participants on each song with Vogts, Messmore and guest guitarist Drew Hill adding their talents to the album.

Your group rocks with the Spirit of Light. I attend CCJ as often as possible, sitting in front rows to be as close to the band as possible. I am uplifted when we all lift our voices in praise. I don’t know all the songs, but I am learning as the Spirit gives me utterance. I pray that your ministries will contine to be blessed in the Lord. I testify that our Heavenly Father uses this group to further His kingdom. Thanks Narrow Path! Rock ON!
