Mission Six (sometimes shown as Mission 6 or just M6) is a contemporary Christian band from Evansville, Indiana, United States. They have released four studio albums. The band currently consists of lead vocalist Noah Hayden, bass player Michael Powers, drummer David Horner, keys Isaac Alling and lead guitarist Lucas Ball. They tour both nationally and internationally and star in a JUCE TV series titled "City Lights", which follows the band on the road.[1][2]

History and media recognition

The band was formed in Evansville, Indiana in 2005 when they were just in fifth grade. Noah, Isaac, Michael and David grew up together playing sports and went to the same Christian school. Knowing that they all had instrumental abilities and a desire to serve God, they started Mission Six. Michael Powers, their bass player, stated in a 2011 iShine Knect "Mission Six Spotlight" episode, "...it was just kind of a pipe dream, 'why don't we start a band- do something different?'" Anthony Barthel, (former guitarist), was homeschooled & moved to a different part of town, where he met the boys. Barthel says in the iShine episodes "he hardly knew how to play guitar", so he joined the band. Hayden & Horner's fathers were both senior pastors, so they practiced at their church & the band was official. Lucas Ball then joined the band in 2012. The band said later in an iShine interview that Lucas Ball joined the band as a result of their paths crossing together. They were in need of a new guitar player due to Barthel's departure and found Lucas at an Olive Garden restaurant. Ball was their waiter and they began to discuss how each of their lives had been, eventually they had Ball join the band.Lucas had grown up in the same town and served in the same church as the boys.

Mission Six was first featured on Radio Disney. They starred in the iShine KNECT TV show with the rest of the iShine Artists, such as, The Rubyz, Jamie Grace, Rachel Chan, Spencer Kane and Tate Huesman. Their first album was released with Bema Media in July 2008, called Superhero,.[3]

On May 30, 2015 the band's fourth album was released.
