As Family We Go is the fifth studio album by Rend Collective. Sparrow Records alongside Capitol Christian Music Group released the album on 21 August 2015.
Giving the album four stars at CCM Magazine, Matt Conner describes, "As Family We Go brings a communal theme to the table, a nod to both the familial bonds between the band members and the greater church family they are addressing." Jessica Morris, signaling in a five star review at PPCORN, replies, "there are no weak points." Indicating in a five star review from Worship Leader, Gary Durbin responds, "In all honesty, the entire album is a excellent." Indicating in a four and a half star review at New Release Today, Kevin Davis replies, "All of the tracks really display the musical and lyrical excellence and intentionality of Rend Collective." Tony Cummings, rating the album a six out of ten for Cross Rhythms, writes, "it's just a shame that several of the tracks here sound so disappointingly generic."
Christopher Smith, awarding the album three and a half stars for Jesus Freak Hideout, writes, "As Family We Go may not be their best effort, but it is still a valiant one." Rating the album three and a half stars by Jesus Freak Hideout, Ryan Barbee states, "while the album has all of the makings of an excellent release, it feels like a step in an odd direction." Awarding the album four stars at Jesus Freak Hideout, Scott Fryberger says, "This is a good album to add to your already existing Rend Collective collection--as well as a good remedy for the soul in need of some encouragement." Mark Rice, indicating in a three and a half star review from Jesus Freak Hideout, recognizes, "But much of this album is Rend Collective at the very pinnacle of their game, so one can forgive the rather uneven listen to an extent."
Awarding the album four and a half stars from 365 Days of Inspiring Media, Joshua Andre says, "it's clear that Rend Collective bring so much lyrical and musical creativity throughout these 16 tracks, injecting fun, joy and life into worship." Jono Davies, giving the album five stars at Louder Than the Music, states, "Rend have again produced an album that will be loved by their ever growing fan base." Signaling in a 4.7 out of five review for Christian Music Review, Kelly Meade writes, "With songs ranging from full-on, joyful praise to the more peaceful, reflective ballads, As Family We Go has something for everyone, keeping the focus on God at the center of it all." Rebekah Joy, rating the album a seven out of ten from Jesus Wired, says, "As Family We Go is an incredible album that deserves lots of celebration."
