Rachel and Friends present LONG HAUL LOVE, a concert benefitting Episcopal Relief and Development’s Disaster Relief Fund
January 17, 2026 | 10:00 am | Contemporary Worship Space
Last year, the Long Haul Love Concert was born out of a moment of deep weariness and prayer. In the wake of Hurricane Helene—watching devastation unfold and feeling powerless to make a difference—Rachel Kamps sat at the beach and offered God what she had.
“Okay, God,” she prayed, “I’ll bring my gifts in a concert. Please multiply them as You see fit.”
He did.
Together, the community raised more than $29,000 for the work of Episcopal Relief & Development—a stunning reminder of what God can do with simple willingness and collective love.
So why are Rachel and Friends doing another Long Haul Love Concert this year? Simply put: Because that prayer from the beach never really ended. When Rachel told God she wouldn’t limit what He could do—that He was free to work abundantly beyond anything imagined—she meant it.
The Long Haul Love Concert is a joyful, interactive musical mission. Audiences—young and old—often find themselves surprised by the experience: tapping toes, clapping hands, singing along, and sometimes folding those same hands in prayer. Original songs blend with beloved favorites, creating moments where performers and audience alike become one through music.
At its heart, this concert is about learning to say yes when God asks us to be vehicles of light, love, and care for those in need. The image of a semi truck “hauling a load of love” may not be glamorous—but it’s faithful. Truckers go the distance. And together, partnering once again with ERD, so does this community.
Rachel and Friends invite everyone to be part of this ongoing Long Haul Love journey. Together, we go the distance!

Additionally, we invite you to the Clergy Forum on Sunday, January 18 at 10:15 am. Dr. Rob Radtke, President and CEO of Episcopal Relief and Development, will be speaking on Faith in Action.
