Echelon is a band based in the great tundra of Minnesota.
From there, the guys played at several youth events for an organization called Youth Encounter and toured for 2 months in the summer of '95, hitting many of the states in the eastern half of the United States. Since then, Echelon has played in 37 states and had the opportunity to meet thousands of youth, youth leaders and families throughout the country. Their itinerary includes everything from churches to colleges and universities to coffeehouses and even public school with Bob Lenz and the Mission 18 program sponsored by Life Promotions . Echelon also works with and supports other ministries including Mercy Ministries , an organization based in Nashville, TN and Monroe, LA which houses and ministers to troubled girls throughout the country and Compassion International , which coordinates child sponsorship in numerous countries throughout the world. Echelon 's main focus is to make Christ known as friend and Savior through music and personal relationships.
