Description
The New City Music Conference is an opportunity for musicians and worship planners to be encouraged, equipped and admonished in their roles as uniquely gifted citizens in “the New City”. In Revelation 21, the apostle John gave us his vision of a holy city, beautifully adorned like a bride. This image of the New City is a representation of the spiritual reality of the church—a place where the glory of the Lord makes all things new through the victory of the Lamb. With gates that stand open to every point on the compass, the nations bring with them the splendor of their songs, their instruments, and their tongues. Songs in the New City celebrate the passion expressed in the cross of Christ for the reconciliation of all His creation and the restoration of righteousness and justice on the earth.
Join us in St. Louis this August to fellowship, learn, share, and jam with redeemed sinners who minister together with you in the New City. As a conference for musicians and about music, the program is dominated by fellowship and celebration in song. Filled with the joy of the Almighty who rejoices over us with singing, we will speak to one another with songs, hymns and spiritual songs from the splendor of the nations.
