we are based in San Diego
and minister in churches throughout the U.S.
singing our unique version
of original worship songs
an evening with Art & Rhoda
is a completely live experience
a musical and spiritual time
learning new songs
with lots of crowd interaction
our events include
a special time of worship
recounting stories from the Bible
describing them in simple reality
drawing out truths
and applying them to our lives today
our '24 Spring Tour
with stops in Colorado,
Wyoming, and South Dakota
was an amazing time
worshipping with many old
and a few new friends
our Fall 24Texas tour was an amazing experience
visiting our friends in El Valle
and culminating in the Austin area
wishing all of our friends and blessed holiday season
Merry Christmas
and Happy New Year to all
as the youngest of five kids
I was four years old
when dad started teaching
my brothers to play guitar
and how to perform on stage
we lived in Los Angeles
and sang in churches all over town
within a year
we were traveling across the country
drums was my first instrument
I was six years old
when I wrote my first worship song
eight when I started taking piano lessons
such was my childhood
every long weekend or vacation from school
the Murillo Family was on the road
we were a full blown
traveling Gospel family band
tour bus and all
after retiring from touring life
I married Rhoda
the girl I had met seven years earlier
I was ordained through
the Calvary Chapel movement
ministering primarily as Worship Pastor
I served at Calvary Chapel San Diego,
also under Pastors Mike McIntosh,
Ray Bentley, Leo Giovinetti,
and also pastored The Way Christian Church
in 2017
the band reunited for six years
with my brothers and Rhoda
in 2023
the ministry changed again
and today
Rhoda and I continue to minister abroad
I was born in Mexico City
to a Mexican dad and Swedish mom
missionaries in Mexico
we eventually moved to the US when I was four
and went to a very musical evangelical church
my greatest artistic influence was my Pastor
Vicente Montaño
at thirteen
God became very real in my life
after I was baptized in water
and in the Holy Spirit
I prayed that God would give me a husband
who was a pianist, could sing
and had a heart for ministry
a year later
the Murillo Family sang at our church
I didn't realize it at the moment
but God had brought my future husband
as a teenager
I sang on Vicente's albums and TV show
eventually, Art and I became an item
and I joined The Murillo brothers
Art and I married in 1987
God blessed us with three amazing sons

"Nuevo Pacto" ~ El Paso, TX

over the years, we have become very familiar with many different churches, traditions, and formats
we are bilingual ~ English, Spanish, or both
we do men's events, women's conferences, worship conferences, marriage retreats ~ if you have a unique event, let's talk to see if we can provide what you are looking for
we sure do ~ big crowds are fun, but some of our sweetest experiences have been at small churches
Christmas music is our favorite! ~ our Christmas concert follows our usual flavor of crowd participation ~ we tailor our program to your event
we are pretty easy to work with:
~ two vocal mics (boom stands)
~ one xlr out for sax (we have wireless unit)
~ one direct out for keyboard
~ usually one hour of setup/soundcheck is good
a/v, i-mag, projection systems:
~ we send you song lyrics way ahead of event - hosts do the rest
we do not charge a set fee ~ different churches have different budgets, so let's talk and we can work with you according to your event and support of this ministry
transportation ~ if we are on tour, transportation is not an issue. If it is a fly-in event, hosts provide travel
lodging ~ we only need one hotel room
meals ~ we ask host to provide meals ~ but more importantly, we love to fellowship! ~ eating with our hosts is among our favorite things to do
send us your feedback or ask a question
we love hearing from you
and we read everything that comes in
