is "Stryper".
They are (were?) a band.
That is, they did something which they purported to be making music.
Christian music.
Allegedly.
Their doctrine was questionable.
Their musical talents were without question.
They were abhominable.
IMO.

What's with the silly getups? Uhhh... never mind. Thanks!
I'm undecided on Christian pop-music in a service. I personally don't care for it, but then I don't care for drippy pipe organs much either. Choir is fine with me.
"Were". Most definitely "were". Stryper formed in the mid 80s and stopped recording (ie couldn't get a new record contract) by 1992. The band briefly reformed for some live concerts in 2000 and 2001, but that was the last time they ever appeared together in public. They reformed again, this time touring with original lead singer Michael Sweet, to promote a "best of" compilation album released in 2003.
Healing prayers are still being requested for all.
