Shortly before the band began recording for their third album, "Invincible", Steorts left the band to be with his family and launch Visible Music College, a modern music ministry college located in Memphis, Kevin Haaland joined the band as their new guitarist, and Korey Cooper joined the band permanently and played keyboards for the recording of "Invincible". Because of this change, the musical style on "Invincible" changed to a more electronic sound. Soon after the release of "Invincible" in 2000, Trey McClurkin parted ways with Skillet, and Lori Peters filled the drummer's position.
