jayson french // speaker

Three passions define Jayson's life: his Lord, his family and fly-fishing. Jayson has spent over 16 years in Youth Ministry. He and his wife Janice have been married since 1992, and they have two boys, Justin and Levi and one girl, Sydney. Jayson joined CIY in 2002 and is the Director of Conferences. He has survived an IRS audit, blew up his brothers' car, and ran over his own dog. He keeps his coffin in his office to remind him that everyday is to be lived with eternity in mind.

  

kevin galloway // worship

Kevin Galloway brings to our weekend an incredible passion for worship. Not just singing, but face-to-face, drop-to-your knees, fall-on-your-face worship. Kevin not only leads worship, but teaches students what worship is truly all about. Kevin led us in powerful worship last year, and did such a phenomenal job that we asked him to return for an encore this year!

  

tait // in concert

Combining hip sensibilities, emotional integrity, social conscience and melodic hooks as big as a house, TAIT came out of the chute intent on using every means at their disposal to find a point of connection with listeners. Beneath the sweat equity that goes with the launching of a new band, for Michael Tait, Lonnie Chapin, Chad Chapin and Justin York, it was always all about "connection"—connection with God, their fans, their culture and with each other. We look forward to connecting with them at ICYC this year.

  

sanctus real // in concert

Sanctus Real came out swinging with 2002's Say It Loud, which produced the best first-week sales of any debut rock record Sparrow had ever released. CCM readers voted the band 2003's Best New Artist, ChristianityToday.com made Sanctus Real "a top pick" for '03, and the Gospel Music Association handed the band two Dove Award nominations. This award-winning group will blow the roof off at ICYC 2005!
