Vision for Sing! Conference

VISION FOR SING!

SING! is an initiative of Keith and Kristyn Getty to help individuals, families, and churches deepen their faith through singing. The core values of the SING! movement are:

RICH THEOLOGY

TIMELESS ARTISTRY

VIBRANT SINGING IN THE LIVES OF INDIVIDUALS, FAMILIES, CHURCHES, AND COMMUNITIES

Keith’s and Kristyn’s Sing! book was released in September 2017 at the inaugural SING! Conference. That first gathering, which commemorated the 500th anniversary of the Reformation, led to subsequent conferences on singing the Psalms (2018) and singing the life of Christ (2019). The movement grew to include events around the world with one-day city conferences and arena shows. Last year saw the introduction of Sing! Global, as believers from around the world participated in an innovative online event focused on Singing the Scriptures (2020), along with the development of SingGlobal.com, a new online learning portal to encourage leaders and equip churches 365 days a year. The newest chapter in this story is Sing! 2021: In Christ Alone. As a hybrid event, we will gather in-person to sing our faith together, as well on the digital SingGlobal.com platform where like-minded believers from all over the world can participate together in this movement. The music this year will be heavily influenced by the great hymns of history.

Sing! 2022 is entitled Christ Our Hope in Life and Death: Prayers and Confessions, with a particular emphasis on the importance of prayer and liturgy in our worship.

We are launching seven weekend events in churches around the United States in 2022, each also entitled Christ Our Hope in Life and Death.
