This year’s Sing! Conference, started in 2017 by famed GRAMMY®-nominated recording artists and hymnwriters Keith and Kristyn Getty, included two late night concerts, 33 breakout seminars on congregational singing, songwriting, creative arts, choral music, children’s & family ministry, and global missions seminars, and sessions led by top Christian speakers and artists that included John Piper, John Lennox, David Platt, CityAlight, Laura Story, Shane & Shane, Andy Crouch, Ruth Chou Simons, Shai Linne, Sandra McCracken, Jeremy Begbie, and many others.
“We are so grateful to all who joined us for three of the most inspiring, creative, global, and enriching days of our lives” said Keith Getty about this year’s event. “Every speaker, musician, artist, and especially all the attendees who added their voices to the choir of 8,500 people built us up in our hope and challenged us to deepen our resolve to see the name of Christ proclaimed to every corner of the world. Our ears are ringing with the echoes of beautiful songs from a tapestry of genres and languages, and our hearts are full of joy as we continue to press on with our vision of equipping the church with hymns to carry for life.”
