Speaker
We are SO excited to have Ben Glenn as our main speaker for 2012. Ben got his start chalkin’ and talkin’ at church camps and youth groups while a college student after his friend and mentor, Bill Leach died in 1992 leaving all of his equipment and contacts to him. Having met Leach at a Fellowship of Christian Athletes camp in Marshall, Indiana as a junior in High School, Ben could have never imagined where God would guide his path. Almost two decades later, Ben continues to travel all over the world sharing his art and the Gospel at conferences, festivals and retreats.
Finally, as much as Ben loves being a speaker and performing artist, he loves being a husband and father more. Married for over fifteen years, he, his wife and two daughters live in a great little city called Indianapolis.
Band
We are proud to announce Downhere will be leading us in worship once again in 2012.
When Canadian melodic alt-rockers Downhere hit the U.S. music scene in 2001 with the release of their self-titled debut, Christian music fans took notice. The band’s combination of powerful vocals, intelligent lyrics, and commitment to ministering to their audiences, helped earn them a Dove Award nomination for New Artist of the Year, a Juno Award for Best Gospel Album, and Canadian Gospel Music Association Covenant Awards for Rock Album of the Year and Rock Song of the Year (for “Larger Than Life”).
The momentum continued with the release of So Much For Substitutes in 2003, earning the band a Dove Award for Modern Rock Recorded Song of the Year for “Breaking Me Down,” as well as Best Male Vocalist honors from Christianmusictoday.com for co-lead vocalist Marc Martel.
Heard regularly on Christian radio channels nationwide, we are honored to have Downhere ready to lead us in worship!
