Megan Woods brings The Truth Tour to a Meadville church on Nov. 14

The Christian pop singer's first headlining run is back on the road this fall, and on Saturday, Nov. 14 it pulls into New Beginnings Church of God off Leslie Road.

Most weekends, the seats at New Beginnings Church of God on Leslie Road fill up on Sunday morning. On Saturday, Nov. 14, they'll fill up a night early. Christian pop singer Megan Woods brings The Truth Tour to Meadville, and the music starts at 7 p.m.

Tickets are on sale now through TicketWeb. The church sits at 13226 Leslie Road, according to Allegheny College's directory of Meadville-area congregations. If you're coming down from Erie, it's an easy Saturday-night drive, and you can be home before the late news.

The Truth Tour is Woods' first run as a headliner. When she first announced it, the spring leg was billed at 22 U.S. cities, with the duo Caleb & John and former *American Idol* and *The Voice* contestant Jeremy Rosado as special guests. A few months later she announced the tour's return this fall, with Rosado back as special guest. Family Life's tour listing describes the fall swing as an extended 30-city run that opened Oct. 1 in Centralia, Ill. The Meadville ticket page doesn't list the full bill, so check it if you're going for a particular guest.

By the time she gets here, Woods will have spent a week working the Northeast: the Roanoke area on Nov. 5, Binghamton on Nov. 6, Syracuse on Nov. 8, the Hudson Valley on Nov. 10, Boston on Nov. 12 and Worcester on Nov. 13. Meadville comes the next night.

For anyone who knows Woods only from the radio, the song to know is the one the tour is named for. "The Truth" was her breakout single, and the tour announcements say it has been certified Gold. The same press materials credit her with Billboard's Best New Christian Artist recognition for 2025. She grew up in northern Massachusetts, according to her artist bio), and her songs aim for the same territory as plenty of contemporary Christian radio: big choruses, plain-spoken faith, and lyrics written to be sung back.

There's a full record behind the single now, too. Woods released a self-titled debut album, a 10-track project, so expect the set to reach well past the one song most people came for.

A church sanctuary is a different kind of room for a pop show.

Most of the stops on this tour are churches, not clubs, and that changes the night. The sound is built for voices, the crowd runs from grade-schoolers to grandparents, and nobody has to worry about a bar tab. For a singer whose biggest song is basically a statement of faith, it's the right fit. A church sanctuary is a different kind of room for a pop show, and for this one it's the natural home.

If you've been hearing "The Truth" on the radio all year and wondering what Woods sounds like in a room, Nov. 14 is your chance, less than 40 miles from Erie. Get there early, find a pew with a good sightline, and plan on singing along.
