About the Artist

Neil Grepke is a called Lutheran (LCMS) secondary-education Theology teacher who focuses on apologetics.

He has been writing poems and music since childhood, but cut his first album in 2008 with 4th Sunday in Kendallville, Indiana with a group of musicians who made up a praise band at St. John Lutheran Church and School leading each fourth Sunday of the month. The group consistently sought music to match up with the sermon text of the week, occasionally making it necessary to produce something original. These songs were melodically simple and Scripture-centered to make them maximally singable in a worship setting.

By 2008, with a CD worth of songs in their pocket, the group produced Abide (2008) in a makeshift home studio. The album featured standout performances by Natalie Whan (vocals, arrangement on "Life Through the Rain"), Randy Anglin (acoustic guitar on "Life Through the Rain" and "Gifts of Our Great God"), Bill Klickman (fiddle on "Life Through the Rain"), Carrie Scheiber (flute on "Fisher of Men"), Sydney Byerley (saxophone on "Body of Christ."), and Julie Carmichael (keyboard on various tracks.)

With Andrew Bowersock on bass and Paul Buuck on keys, 4th Sunday booked time at Tempel Studios to record Not A Thing I Can Do (2010), before the Grepkes moved to Las Vegas, accepting a call to lead the Theology Department at Faith Lutheran Middle School and High School. Jonah Grepke played violin on "Eagles."

Now, Neil writes and produces music as 4th Sunday and separately for a batch of non-worship music written in the early 1990s, using generative artificial intelligence tools to create instrumentation for his original works and some reimagined hymns.
