Lancaster Bible College provides students with a place to flourish in spiritually, in community and through their God-given talents. Several LBC students have a passion for creating excellent music to impact others with the love of Christ. Their creations vary across styles and genres, including worship music, instrumental beats and rap. Learn about a few of them, their passions and join them on their creative journeys!
Andrew Orton
Andrew Orton
Andrew Orton (’26) is an LBC Communication major and hip-hop artist with a heart for creating raw, heartfelt music that impacts others for Christ. When Andrew was 12 years old, he started making beats and rapping, recording everything on his iPhone with earbuds until a friend showed him how to make beats on his laptop. He enjoys hip-hop because of the conversational nature of the style and the way that it can help listeners connect with an artist.
“For me, the entire point of music is to express and spread my faith,” Andrew said. “For many, music is a way people worship. For my music, it’s a way to comfort and instruct others in their walk with God.”
Andrew has released an EP and several singles across platforms under “Andrew D.”
Caleb Pucci
Caleb Pucci
Caleb Pucci (’27) is a Sport Management major with a specialization in Sports Ministry. Growing up, his family always had music playing. He would often sing with his family and his musically inclined friends. During the pandemic, Caleb taught himself how to play the guitar and sing through YouTube. After that, the Lord began to open different opportunities. Caleb has led worship at his school, church, youth group, as well as played during player chapels for the NFL with the New England Patriots. Caleb grew up on country music but has a passion for worship music.
“Worship has always been something I’m super passionate about” explained Caleb. “Creating a space for others to become aware of the presence of the living God and cultivating a space for him to move, rather just singing about God.”
Caleb had the opportunity to record and release a worship album with some friends back home in Boston titled “Hyde Park Praise,” based on Psalm 147.
Listen to “Hyde Park Praise” on Spotify, Apple Music and iTunes, and follow Caleb on Instagram @calebpucci9.
Jenna Dombach
Jenna Dombach
Jenna Dombach (’24 & ’28) graduated from LBC after four years with a Criminal Justice degree but returned to her alma mater to grow her musical talents. She grew up surrounded by music but never thought of it as a passion or calling until high school, after being encouraged by her dad. Jenna has a heart for connecting with people and God through music. She enjoys writing songs that reflect what the Lord has been teaching her.
“There’s nothing that seems more important to write about than God,” Jenna shared. “He is worth singing about, sharing about and creating worshipful experiences for.”
Jenna released a single in September, “Time and Time Again,” that was inspired by a season of her life where she was wrestling with sin that she felt like she couldn’t escape. “I felt like Paul in Romans 7 when he says, ‘I do the things I don’t want to do, and I don’t do the things I want to do,’” explained Jenna. “That’s where this song is born out of.”
Listen to “Time and Time Again” across all streaming platforms and follow “Jenna Renee.”

Natalie Millsap
Natalie Millsap
Natalie Millsap (’27) has been singing for as long as she can remember and writing original songs since she was 7 years old. Her heart is for raw, honest music that is genuine, human and transparent.
“I have always connected with the lyrics of a song first, so I enjoy writing meaningful words,” explained Natalie, who is majoring in Music: Elective Studies.
She released her first single at the age of 15 but was overwhelmed by the vastness of the music industry until she felt that the Lord wanted her to share her songs. She was encouraged to keep writing as a freshman at LBC. Today, Natalie seeks to honor the Lord through her music by creating songs that are well done, using her God-given talents, even in “secular” songs that reflect His glory.
Listen to Natalie’s music on Soundcloud, Instagram @nataliemillsapmusic or Tik Tok.
Alivia Sarah
Alivia Sarah
Alivia Sarah (’28) is a Marketing major with a heart to share God’s love through her musical talents. Alivia has been singing since she was 2 years old and released her first song at 11called “I See Your Love.” It was then that the Lord opened her eyes to see that music was her calling.
“I don’t want the fame,” Alivia said. “I just want God to be able to use me to share His love through my original music.”
Through her music, Alivia wants everyone to know that there is a greater love than earthly love and that it is found in Love Himself. “Music plays a huge role in life,” she explained. “I want to be that good influence that guides people towards Christ.”
“Jingle bells: (sad Christmas)” is a song Alivia wrote that has a special meaning for her. She explains that she took the public domain song “Jingle Bells” and made it into her very own.
“The song reflects the bittersweet nature of the holiday season, juxtaposing joyful memories with feelings of regret and loss,” Alivia shared. “It encouraged listeners to cherish the good moments while acknowledging the challenges faced throughout the year. And that we can find joy and resilience through Jesus Christ.”
Alivia is in the process of recording a new single in the winter of 2025. Find Alivia’s sound across all streaming platforms and follow “Alivia Sarah Music” on Instagram, Pinterest, YouTube, Spotify and Rumble or visit aliviasarahmusic.com.
Jacob Swope
Jacob Swope
Jacob Swope (’25) is a Pastoral Ministry major who started playing piano when he was 12 years old and started producing hip-hop beats at 15.
“They were terrible beats, but I loved doing it!” said Jacob. A year later, he started writing raps, but never did anything with them until he released “SD Freestyle,” a repurposed version of those first raps he wrote as a 16-year-old.
“If my music does not encourage people in their faith then it is not worth making,” he said. “This has been something particularly challenging for me lately. Faith needs to intersect with everything I do.”

Joel Sathyadass
Joel Sathyadass
Joel Sathyadass (’25) is a Performance: Instrumental major who loves to play the guitar. When he was a kid, he and his two brothers would transform their bedroom into their “little jam room” as they crammed drums, keyboards and guitars in the small space alongside bunkbeds. For Joel, music is a way to express himself and help him understand his emotions. Music also serves as a way for him to meditate on the person of Jesus Christ and on His truth.
“[Music] acts like a lens to catch a glimpse of the divine,” he said.
Joel wrote the song “Broken” as a raw prayer between himself and the Lord.
“I had recorded it in a closet with my phone and posted it straight away,” Joel shared. “And for some reason, that has been a song people keep telling me they have been blessed by. It is such a humbling and encouraging thing to know that God uses the broken parts of me to do something that could encourage someone else.”
