Crowder’s Fantastical Church Music Conference brings big names to Baylor
This weekend, Baylor alum, award-winning Christian artist and “Rise Up” anthem composer David Crowder is leading an all-star worship conference at Baylor intriguingly titled “Crowder’s Fantastical Church Music Conference.” Before going any further, you just have to watch the video Crowder put together advertising the conference:
The line-up of speakers and artists scheduled for this weekend includes some really impressive names: Matt Redman, Louie Giglio, Jars of Clay, Charlie Peacock, Hillsong London, Rob Bell, Derek Webb and of course the David Crowder*Band. Thanks to Crowder, each will be exposed to Baylor University for a weekend, perhaps for the first time, while the Baylor community gets the opportunity to hear from some of the leading voices in worship music today.

Crowder is only the latest Baylor/Waco product to emerge as a leader on the church/worship music scene. From Word Inc.’s founding in Waco to the Black Gospel Music Restoration Project to popular Christian bands of today like DC*B, Addison Road, Erin McCarley and Dutton, members of the Baylor family have helped lead the evolution of Christian music for more than half a century.
Sic ’em, worship leaders!
