Lincoln Brewster
Lincoln Brewster began playing music at a young age and attained a level of success that many musicians never reach before he was 22. He realized very early in his career, however, that he wanted more than success in this world. Lincoln wanted to play his guitar and sing songs that would help bring souls closer to Christ... he wanted his music to make a difference.
A love and natural gift for the guitar landed Brewster a gig with mainstream rocker Steve Perry (Journey) and led to offers from mainstream rock labels all before he was 21. But Brewster had made a commitment to Christ in his late teens and, instead, took a position at his local church as a sound technician. He remained faithful at that church, eventually taking on youth leadership and worship leadership responsibilities. Several years later, he crossed paths with Vertical Music, part of Integrity Music Group in Mobile, AL, finding a label home that allowed him to record the modern, rock-tinged worship for which he is known.
His love for what he does is obvious. When he steps in front of a room of full of people, he involves the audience in his music, teaching the songs to them, inviting them to sing along. He shares his heart like an open book and teaches as he plays, talking about his personal journey with God and the faithfulness he’s found.

Steve Fee
Regrettably, Steve Fee has had to cancel his summer tour and will not be available to lead worship for the evening services (July 15th and 16th) as originally scheduled. We will miss Steve's gifted leadership, and pray for the Lord's blessing in his life.
The IYC Leadership team has decided on Matt Papa as a high-quality replacement to lead worship on these nights. Please join us in prayer that the Lord will use Matt Papa during our worship experience, to help us to see the face of Jesus, and prepare our hearts for the message He has for us.

Matt Papa
Spend any time talking with minister/artist Matt Papa, and one thing becomes immediately apparent: He's clearly a man on a mission. Eschewing the typical small talk ... Papa wastes no time digging into the heart of the matter. As an artist who isn't interested in simply making music for music's sake, Papa writes songs that center around God's word and doesn't consider his job done until the lyrics have taken permanent residence in a listener's gray matter. Staying right on point, the call to live intentionally is a theme that resonates deeply through the songs of Papa's new Centricity Music release, Your Kingdom Come. "The main thing that's been on my heart is missions and how I can inspire students to be the hands and feet of Christ and go to the places where people haven't even heard the name of Jesus," Papa shares. "You have to live before God with open hands. We may have our plans and ideas, but at any moment, Christians, unlike the world, have to be ready to drop anything and totally do something else if God is calling us to," Papa says. "It's a very strange life, yet it's exactly how Jesus wants our hands to be-open and available. We need to embrace the idea of anything He wants to change, anything He wants to take, it's Yours now." "We [my wife and I] want to challenge and inspire students ... we want to fuel The Great Commission."

Disciple
As a professional rock band, it doesn’t hurt to be prolific, but it’s far more important to grow and develop—to learn from past triumphs and failures and to use that accumulated experience to craft songs that are passionate, modern, and from the heart. In their 14 years together, Knoxville, Tennessee band Disciple has matured from an aggressive metal band to a quartet with a strong sense of melody and a penchant for the unexpected. The band’s last album “Rise Up” was full of driving rhythms and tuneful hooks, but with their new album, “Scars Remain,” Disciple has incorporated exceptional songwriting with a level of intensity not heard in years.

Outcast BMX
Outcast BMX shows are mind-blowing events featuring some of the top pro and amateur BMX riders in the country. Forget what you’ve seen from less qualified BMX teams! Outcast BMX riders have been featured on the Dew Action Sports Tour and the cover of Ride BMX magazine. Their back flips, superman seat grabs, and other jaw-dropping stunts are guaranteed to grab your students’ attention, and the life-changing testimonies will keep it.

Superchick
Superchick is living up to its name. Its first four albums have combined for 700,000 copies sold, more than 70 film, television, and videogame song placements, and five Number 1 singles. On their new album, “Rock What You Got,” band member Matt says, “This album is about empowerment and hope. Don’t be afraid to cross the lines that people put up to limit you when you know you are better than that.” “Rock What You Got” is a battle cry to charge forward.

Illusionist Brock Gill
Forget what you know about illusionists: no cheesy tuxedos, no rabbits to pull out of hats. Brock Gill leads a new generation of edgy, daring illusionists, amazing audiences with his unique stage show, dry wit, and mind-blowing escapes.
While working at a sawmill in 1997, Brock felt that God wanted him to use illusions, escapes, and stunts to bring a message of hope to people. “It didn’t make any sense,” Brock admits, “but I felt like it was what God was calling me to do.” With a passion for reaching people as his catalyst, Brock went back to college and began performing at church outreach events. News of his creative method of evangelism spread through the area quickly and he began to receive invitations almost immediately.
Since those first outreaches, God has taken Brock's ministry across the United States and into Mexico and Australia, and his heart for the lost has grown. Brock's message for Christ is clear and effective. He has literally seen thousands of lives touched by God through his ministry.
