This event is one of my favorites of the entire year! The environment is simply electrifying... an entire campus filled with musicians, techs, worship leaders, and others just like you; people with the same heart and purpose... to be all that God created us to be for His glory. We only get one shot at this life, so let’s all make the most of what God has given to us. As church leaders, I believe we carry the responsibility to provide opportunities for those we lead in ministry to grow and develop, both in technical skill, as well as spiritually. This is discipleship, plain and simple.

In my humble opinion, the Thriving Musician Summit, produced by Bruce and Matt of CMS Productions, provides
the best training and inspiration for Christian musicians that you can find in a conference setting. This is why I invited them to partner with myself and Thriving Churches International so that we could bring this conference to Northern California. The last two years have been amazing. This year will be even better! Our hope is that this event will recharge your spiritual batteries, help you to get inspired as well as develop and refine your skills. Linc

Paul Baloche / www.leadworship.comPaul Baloche has written some of this generation’s most compelling worship songs. He states, “I’ve realized the value of creating personal worship times. Even though I teach worship, read about it, and sing about it,” says Baloche. “It’s like prayer. We can talk about prayer, go to prayer seminars, but there comes a time where we need to just “DO IT”. We were created for His pleasure. We were created for relationship with the living God. That’s the reality.”For Baloche, living in that reality has inspired him to write some of the most powerful worship songs of this generation. As a bridge builder between traditional and contemporary
worship, Baloche has literally put words in mouths of believers all over the world. The Dove award-winning artist has had his songs recorded by Michael W. Smith, Randy Travis, SonicFlood, John Tesh, and others. He currently has more than 10 songs on CCLI’s top 500 songs performed in churches. His “Open the Eyes of My Heart” is at No. 2 on the CCLI list.
Lincoln Brewster / www.lincolnbrewster.comA love and natural gift for the guitar landed Brewster a gig with mainstream rocker Steve Perry (Journey) and led to offers from mainstream rock labels all before he was 21. But Brewster had made a commitment to Christ in his late teens, and instead took a position at his local church as a sound technician. He remained faithful at that church, eventually taking on youth leadership and worship leadership responsibilities. Several years later, he crossed paths with Vertical music, part of Integrity Music Group in Mobile, AL, finding a label home that allowed him to record the modern, rock-tinged worship for which he has become known.
In addition to his role as worship leader each Sunday in his home church at Bayside, Brewster is also serving as a worship music instructor at various worship conferences throughout the country.

Laura Story / www.laurastorymusic.comLike the twists and turns of a mountain road, Laura Story’s life has held its share of unexpected moments - some exhilarating, some terrifying, and some simply beautiful to behold. Leaning solely on her faith in the sovereignty of God, Story has learned that no matter what comes around the next bend, it’s going to be an incredible view. Once an aspiring symphony conductor, Story didn’t even know she could sing - much less write songs - until she was in her early twenties. Today, Story is not only a gifted vocalist and worship leader but also the composer of one of the most beloved worship
songs of our generation - “Indescribable.” The song has helped people all over the world experience our magnificent God.
Brenton Brown / www.brentonbrown.comA gifted songwriter and musician, Brenton has written many worship songs, including “Everlasting God,” “Lord, Reign in Me,” “All Who Are Thirsty,” and “Hallelujah (Your Love is Amazing).” Everlasting God was released with Survivor and with Sparrow in the States.

Since then they have been welcomed into the Horizon family of churches and have travelled across the States and beyond leading worship in churches as far afield as Sweden and Korea. 2008 saw the arrival of a baby
daughter called Bella, and Brenton’s second solo project, ‘Because of Your Love.’ Brenton has been lucky enough to have his songs recorded by Chris Tomlin and Lincoln Brewster. He has 5 songs in CCLI’s top 100.

Josh Wilson www.myspace.com/joshwilsonGrowing up in Lubbock, Texas, he rarely remembers a day that didn’t involve playing music. And by age 7, Josh’s voracious appetite for all things musical wasn’t simply limited to one instrument. After taking piano lessons, he also added drums and guitar to his growing repertoire. Now with his major-label, critically acclaimed debut, Trying to Fit the Ocean in a Cup, Josh continues to communicate what’s on his heart with 11 unique songs that he hopes will inspire and challenge fellow believers. And when your target audience is the often-fickle college crowd, that
universal message is music to their ears, which makes Josh such an engaging, much-needed addition to the Christian music scene.
Don Poythress / www.donpoythress.comA profound moment in Don’s young musical education took place in his childhood piano class. It was here that Don’s instructor, a deeply spiritual woman, opened his eyes to more than music. “I remember once as I was practicing,” he recalls, “She told me, ‘Now one day the Lord is going to use you in country music, and you’re going to be on the Grand Ole Opry. He’s going to use you to draw people, and you’re going to tell them about Christ.’ It was heavy stuff for a four-year-old.” Those words of faith would prove prophetic. Today Don is one of Nashville’s premier songwriters. His songs
have been recorded by both acclaimed country stars including Tim McGraw, Clint Black, and Travis Tritt, and Christian artists such as Jaci Velasquez, The Martins, and Brian Littrell. Accordingly, Don’s accolades also cross genre lines. In 2006 The Martins’ recording of Don’s song “The Promise” received a Dove Award for Southern Gospel Recorded Song of the Year. Two years later he received an ASCAP award for Kellie Pickler’s chart-topping hit, “Things That Never Cross A Man’s Mind.” But regardless of the artist, Don always stays true to his spiritual heritage.
