some of key people that will be here:

Chris Tomlin

Christian worship leader and songwriter, Chris Tomlin, has written songs such as "Forever," "We Fall Down," and "The Wonderful Cross," and he is considered one of this era's top songwriters for the church. With millions singing his songs weekly, the native of Austin, Texas is recognized as a pivotal voice of today's modern expression of Christian worship.

His undeniable energy is charismatic and contagious. Avoiding the trappings of public performance, Chris stands beside the people he serves, raising his voice to God with them so that they share God’s presence together. "God promises that when we draw close to Him, He'll draw close to us," he says. "That's what I hope happens through these songs." Rooted in one central truth, that God is the center of everything, Chris is shaping the language of worship for generations present and future.

Partnering with the Passion Conferences, Chris has also been involved in leading worship for thousands of college-students across the nation.

Chris’ albums include The Noise We Make, Not to Us, Arriving, and Live from Austin Music Hall. He has five songs in Christian Copyright Licensing International’s Top 60 and four more in the service’s Top 500.

David Crowder

When he realized that almost half of his fellow students at Baylor University were not attending church, David Crowder partnered with Chris Seay and started University Baptist Church in 1996. David led worship there with his band and he began writing songs to incorporate into the worship times.

Eventually the church released an independent CD, Pour Over Me, followed by All I Can Say in 1999. These CDs brought the band to a wider audience and invitations to festivals and events followed. The band is signed to sixstepsrecords/Sparrow Records and has released numerous other albums.

In September 2005, the band explored a new realm of musical diversity in their album, A Collison, combining a mix of bluegrass, folk, alternative, and worship, woven together with a touch of electronic ambience. This release landed them the #2 spot on the iTunes Music Store and the #39 spot on Billboard 200 only one day after its release.

The band tours the United States continuously, performing at various locations. These events include Fusion and Leadnow conferences, which are created by Rightnow, a division of BluefishTV. The band still makes it back to their home church in Waco, Texas almost every Sunday.

Their other albums include The Green CD, The Yellow CD, Iluminate, Sunsets & Sushi and Collision. They also released the song, Turkish Delight, on the Music Inspired by the Chronicles of Narnia compilation CD.

Louie Giglio

Passionate communicator and innovative thinker, Louie Giglio, began his ministry to college-age students at Baylor University when he established a campus-wide Bible study in 1985. Desiring to see spiritual awakening come to the college campuses around the nation and the world, Louie went on to launch the Passion Conferences in 1997.

Passion Conferences represent a movement that exists to glorify God and unite students in worship and prayer for spiritual awakening in this generation. The Passion movement is on the forefront of modern worship and is sweeping across the nation. As a part of the Passion movement, Louie also heads up Sixstep records, a partnership with Sparrow Records.

Desiring to reach across denomination and ministry lines, Louie began 7:22, a Bible study designed to reach and impact single adults in the metro Atlanta area. Functioning under the umbrella of the local church, 7:22 unites 3,000 singles weekly for worship and teaching.

Louie is the author of The Air I Breathe: Worship as a Way of Life and I Am Not but I Know I Am: Little Me, Infinite God, Amazing Life.

Louie and his wife, Shelley, are members of North Point Community Church, where he occasionally speaks. They reside outside of Atlanta, GA
