After a positive reception from the local church community, the band continued holding bi-monthly worship gatherings.
After receiving an offer from local Christian concert promoters, Ian Bullis and Jonathan Velasquez,[citation needed] to open for CCM artist Matthew West in January 2009, the band began to write original material and formally changed their name to I Am They in order to differentiate it from the bi-monthly worship ministry they hosted.
In April 2017, a new vocalist, Houston resident Jon McConnell, was introduced with the release of the band's new song, Crown Him.
[8] In early 2019, a new drummer/percussionist, Nicole Hickman, joined the group, allowing Sara Palmer to focus on planning and promotion full-time.
In January 2022, the band announced that they had signed with Big Future Music Group in a joint venture with Truss Records.
