Frederick Church Hosts Mike Donehey Concert

Story by Evan Knott

The Frederick (Md.) church recently held a free community concert in Baker Park in downtown Frederick featuring Mike Donehey, lead singer of Tenth Avenue North. The event aimed to build connections with the community by inviting people to engage with the church in a casual, neutral setting.

Organizers were intentional to connect concertgoers back to the church. Morgan Kochenower, lead pastor, delivered a short homily before the concert, emphasizing how Jesus’ triumph over death provides hope for even the most broken situations. Several tent stations provided additional interaction, including a kids’ activity tent and a prayer tent where a team of volunteers, including mental health professionals, were available for conversation. Partners Adventist HealthCare, WGTS 91.9, and Frederick Rescue Mission collaborated with the church for the event and also had tents to engage with concertgoers.
