Cristina Bernal (formerly Ballestero) began her music career in 2006 as part of the dance-pop group L.A.X. Gurlz, signed to Universal Blackground Records. Their single Forget You premiered on MTV’s TRL First Look, gained airplay on Radio Disney and major stations like B96 and Z100, and ranked #98 on Billboard’s 100 Greatest Girl Group Songs of All Time.

Cristina then pursued an independent music career, writing and producing her own work, including collaborations and her 2021 single T H A N K F U L. After stepping away from a second record deal in 2011, she felt called to lead worship, serving communities nationwide at conferences, retreats, and parish missions while continuing to release pop music. Along with writing and releasing pop music she has served in the worship community since. She has traveled around the United States leading worship for conferences, retreats, parish missions, as well as locally at her home parish.

After spending two years in Dallas, he and Kelly relocated back to Houston, TX, where they now live—and they are excited to welcome their first child in December 2024.
Beyond ministry, he is a devoted Houston Astros and Notre Dame football fan, an avid CrossFitter with competition goals, and co-owner of Life & Lens Media, a company dedicated to helping businesses and individuals tell their unique stories.

SARAH QUINTANILLA
Sarah was born and raised in deep south Texas to a small yet big hearted family. Her parents would recount that she started singing “ooos & ahhhs” before she could even form sentences. Although her love for music was apparent since her childhood, it was in college where she understood that music was a gift the Lord had given her. In realizing this gift, it was made clear that this music was to reveal the deep love, mercy, and healing the Lord wanted people to experience.
Although she is a full time high school Literature teacher, you can find her singing to her students, leading praise and worship at events around the city of San Antonio, TX, and hosting backyard jam sessions with her family and friends.
