The Tribe, formerly the World Wide Message Tribe (WWMT), were a British Christian dance band. Their aim was to "to communicate the gospel to young people in Greater Manchester"[1]. They were part of the christian charity, "the message", which is famous for its eden projects in Manchester. [2]

The World Wide Message Tribe formed in 1991, and grew out of an evangelistic project called "Message to Schools" run by Mark Pennells and Andy Hawthorne [3]. The Tribe disbanded in 2004[4].

The line-up of "the tribe" varied over the 13 years and included many recognised christian artists including, Andy Hawthorne (director of the message), Mark pennells (director of innervation trust), Beth Redman (internationally known artist and author and wife of Matt), Cameron Dante, Deronda K Lewis, Collette Smethurst, Claire Prosser, Emma and Tim Owen, Lindz West, George M and Quintin (George and Quintin were formally members of SA band, M.I.C. and have now set up a new band called Whistlejacket) among others.

The Tribe's parent company, The Message Trust, have since created two bands, "BlushUK" (a girl band) and LZ7, a hip hop band fronted by ex-Tribe member Lindz West. "Genetik", the tribe academy has been set up with the vision to train up young evangelists in an Urban or Creative course at its Manchester base.

The group won three GMA Dove Awards[5].
