Not to us.
To the one who formed the world and
created majestic mountains.
Not to us.
To the one who set the seas into their motion,
who fashions life and calls us into being.
Not to us.
To the one who gave himself to free us
And calls us to follow.
Not to us.
Not to us, O Lord, not to us
But to your name be the glory
Because of your love and faithfulness
psalm 115:1

Speakers and Artists:
Jared Herd//: Jared is an Atlanta, Georgia native who is considered one of today’s freshest communicators. Over the past few years, Jared has been traveling the country sharing the hope of Jesus with a humorous and captivating approach that has reached thousands of teenagers and college students. He is one of the featured communicators at InsideOut, a weekly gathering of several hundred high school students at Northpoint Community Church in Alpharetta, Georgia, and BigStuf Camps in Panama City, Florida. Jared met Jesus personally when he was 18 years old and was swept off his feet. Today, his messages and life are aimed at calling students out to follow Jesus and begin to walk in the healing that He offers. Jared currently lives in Los Angeles, California.

Ben Crawshaw//: Serving as a youth pastor north of Atlanta, Ben Crawshaw has a certain connection with students. Connecting with students in an authentic way while communicating the gospel makes Ben a rare, but gifted speaker. When he’s not discipling students in his church community, Ben can be found traveling the country, communicating the gospel of Jesus to thousands of other young people. Ben’s messages challenge and inspire audiences to pursue Christ with honest sincerity.
Kyle Carden Band//: Loud, raucous, passionate, intimate and engaging- these words describe the ministry of the Kyle Carden Band. Based out of First Baptist Church, Oviedo, Kyle is a gifted worship leader. He and his cohorts love leading students in worship and it shows! www.kylecarden.com
Riley Armstrong//: In a sea of trends and conformity, Riley Armstrong stands out. Perhaps it’s proof that you don’t need a loud voice to be heard, just an honest one. Riley has dedicated his life to capture feelings to breath life into melodies that uncover the beauty of imagination that floats throughout the nooks and crannies of our days. His legacy is built on the smiles, tears and stories of those who discover the soul of his music. A vigilanty for the different, celebrating the uniqueness in all of us. Riley and his wife, Shannon, live in Calgary, Alberta Canada. Performing over 150 events a year and over 40,000 albums sold and 4 unique and off the wall videos, his reputation for an exciting and hilarious live performance filled with real life honesty are always well received by young and old. www.rileyarmstrong.com
Andrew Phillip//: You only have to spend a few minutes in the company of Andrew Phillip Ehrenzeller to know what grips his heart and motivates his reason for being; knowing he is a son of God the Father and making His Son Jesus Christ known throughout the earth. With a spirit of unwavering devotion and a soul that resounds with true musicianship, Andrew proclaims his love for Christ Jesus with passion that draws anyone within earshot in and provokes them to journey "beyond the veil." His pure vocals, storytelling lyrics and philosophy of complete unashamed abandonment to God releases a new sound of worship, carrying with it a profound anointing that speaks for itself. www.andrewphillip.com
