Guest artists include Shane & Shane, Crowder, Matt Maher and Matthew West
NASHVILLE, April 5, 2024 – Following an unforgettable Easter celebration weekend, World Outreach Church continues its highly anticipated Spring Festival, a series of outdoor worship services featuring special guest artists every weekend in April.
The festival takes place in the church’s outdoor sanctuary each Saturday night in April, and all are welcome. Each evening includes a biblical message from Pastor Allen Jackson, outdoor baptisms, food trucks, activities for kids, and performances by renowned worship artists. The last weekend of the festival coincides with the conclusion of the church’s Culture & Christianity Conference..
“We are beyond excited to invite the community to come worship with us this spring,” Pastor Allen Jackson said. “We have a lot of exciting artists coming to lead worship, but we aren’t in the Christian entertainment business. We simply wanted to make a space where thousands of people could come together, be with God’s people, and worship the Lord.”
The following guest artists will lead worship during the Spring Festival:
· Shane and Shane (April 6-7)
Crowder (April 13-14)
Matt Maher (April 20-21)
Matthew West (April 27-28)
The venue’s large concert space and lawn makes it ideal for visitors to bring their outdoor chairs and blankets, enjoy the festive atmosphere, and worship in the Tennessee spring weather. Each Saturday evening service begins at 6 p.m., with the weekend’s artist performing a mini-concert after church each night. The artist will return to lead worship during the Sunday morning service, which begins at 9:30 a.m. in Three Crosses Sanctuary.
“Come early, and invite a friend,” continues Jackson. “These worship nights are a great opportunity to bring people who might be reluctant to come to church in a more traditional setting. We’re trying to open a door for the gospel in the lives of these people. Everyone is invited, and anyone who comes will be blessed.”
The final concert of the season coincides with the end of the Allen Jackson Ministries’ Culture & Christianity Conference (April 26 & 27), a pivotal event designed to deliver “truth, hope and light into our desperate culture.” Notable speakers include Kayleigh McEnany, Kirk Cameron, Brandon Tatum, Allie B. Stuckey and Eric Metaxas. McEnany and Metaxas will join Pastor Allen on Saturday evening, April 27, for a conversation on leading with faith.
