Virginia Theological Seminary and the Center for the Ministry of
Teaching are proud to announce the first VTS Christian Rock Festival on
Saturday, April 13. The festival will feature an impressive and
diverse line-up of the best in Christian rock: Joel Joa (urban), The
Sloan River Project (contemporary rock), Fran McKendree
(singer-songwriter), The Letter Black (hard rock), and headliners: Five
Iron Frenzy (third wave ska). The groups hit the stage on the campus
Grove at noon (following two high school bands), and will continue
until 10 pm. "Like any great music festival there will be food - lots of it - and activities to draw the young and young at heart together for a day of celebration and thanksgiving!" said Dr. Lisa Kimball, Interim Associate Dean of Students and the Director of the Center for the Ministry of Teaching. "This is a moment for serious evangelism. Seize it!" Click here for more information and registration.
In addition to the ten hours of amazing music, the VTS Christian Rock Festival will begin with a morning Quidditch clinic and tournament at 9:00 am, as well as poetry, spoken word performance, opportunities to meet the musicians and plenty of food vendors all day. Rain or shine, the family friendly, ecumenical event is free and open to the public, including youth groups.
