Wow! Having lived in the Seattle area for most of my adult Christian life I didn't get a chance to see many Christian groups live. (not a ton of them came to that part of the country). So I have seen way more secular acts live (I'm a little jealous of you). But I have seen a couple of Christian artistst.
The Newsboys (with Peter Fuller still fronting the band) Bloodgood SoulDeep (they were a local band full of brothers and cousins)
I do remember back in highschool (around 1984 or 85) someone trying to convince me to go to a Petra concert with them and I declined. Wish I had gone now.

Alldat's is even more eclectic than my list! Seems everyone has seen Newsboys so far. Never seen them with Tait, but I did see them during their Hell is for Wimps tour, the Boyz will be boys tour, and the Going Public tour. Great concerts, great memories!

Aw man, I would've loved to have seen Morgan Cryer live. Kingdom Upside Down is one of my all time fav albums. Global Warning would've also been ultimate!

Global Warning was at a small church in my hometown. Morgan Cryar actually rocked pretty good live. I was pleasantly surprised.

So did all of you see Stryper (thought I didn't see it on Jim's list)? I've missed them 3 times now. Twice they came to the Seattle area while I was out of town, and once I just totally missed that they were even performing until it was too late to go.

As you can see, I am an old school guy when it comes to music:
Stryper X 4 Resurrection Band X 5 Servant X 4 Sweet Comfort Band Saint (opening for Stryper, Yellow & Black Attack tour) Bloodgood (opening for Stryper, Soldiers Under Command tour) Petra Shelter Barren Cross (at a small club in Portland, Oregon, State of Control tour, they played "Stage of Intensity" and it was awesome!) Guardian (at the same club, First Watch tour with Paul Cawley on vocals) Holy Soldier (at a small club in downtown Portland) Phil Keaggy (fall of 1981, Ph'lip Side tour, Richland, High School auditorium. Several years later I caught him at an acoustic show in Portland) Northbound (opening for Servant, World of Sand Tour winter of 1982, small theater in downtown Portland. Other opening acts Loyd Thogmartin, Will McFarlane. Concert ended after midnight and recall having to drive over three hours back home to Eastern Washington. Oh, to be young again...) Darrell Mansfield Band (headlining a small festival at the fairgrounds in Puyallup, WA, summer of 1984. Other acts appearing include Rez Band, Quickflight and 77's). Joe English Band (opening for Servant, Caught In The Act album giveaway tour) Tykkus (playing a club in Phoenix, September of 2005, just after I moved to Arizona. Included new vocalist Will V, previous vocalist Randy Michaud was also in attendance and I believe drummer John Tinker of Stevie & the Saints) Steve Taylor & Some Band with opening act Undercover (high school auditorium in Hermiston, Oregon) Allies (high school auditorium in Yakima, Wa) Rick Cua (Your My Road tour, George Fox College) Crumbacher (did I spell that correctly? Also at George Fox)
Don't know if these count, but in a more contemporary vein:
2nd Chapter of Acts X 2 Scott Wesley Brown Terry Talbot Bryan Duncan Amy Grant (opening act Michael W. Smith)

Ok, now I don't feel as bad.
I missed seeing Saint a few years back as well (with Josh singing). They played a small festival in southern Washington, but I had to work that weekend. I'm almost certain it was the set/performance that became their "Live '05" album. Then they came up to Seattle to do a NW Metalfest show on the weekend that I went on a cruise to Mexico with my wife. I was a little torn on that one.

I missed Barren Cross, probably at the show Dynamis listed. Somehow it conflicted with something else and I was so bummed. I forgot Holy Soldier, probably at the small club Dynamis mentioned and also forgot Bloodgood.

Barren Cross (and Guardian) were at the Pine Street Theater, just east of downtown. Holy Soldier was at Key Largo. Do not know if either place is still around.

Since I've moved to Arizona I've probably lost pretty much any opportunity to see them (since they are a North Oregon band)

I'm still mad [not really!] at Saint for their show being canceled with no notifications! A friend from CMR and I drove for a couple hours in awful traffic on a miserably hot day to see them, only to arrive at the empty venue. The two of us checked out a local brewery and made the best of it but still, that was a bummer!

That is a total bummer! I drove an hour to see Guardian only to get stuck in traffic and only catch the last 15 minutes of them.. but that was more my bad planning

In my early years I never attended many concerts...I saw Petra (Beyond Belief Tour) and Whiteheart.
In 2006 I saw Stryper (with Tracy Ferrie on bass) and Holy Soldier (with Don Russell on vocals) at Sonshine Festival in Willmar, MN.
Attending Sonshine Festival changed my life...since then I've been to a lot of festivals, worship conferences, and youth conferences so I could list hundreds of artists I've seen live ranging from Britt Nichole to Phil Keaggy. In the spirit of this site...some of the rock oriented bands I've seen are:
Switchfoot Thousand Foot Krutch Building 429 Pillar Skillet Kutless Lincoln Brewster Third Day Red The Showdown Disciple Manafest 7eventh Time Down The Union of Sinners and Saints NeedToBreathe
I can be pretty nerdy at times...I literally have a spreadsheet that lists every band I've ever seen live. Sadly, there are no new entries in my spreadsheet since Covid
