2025 Worship Leader:
Journey Worship Co Journey Worship Co. is a team of worship leaders, songwriters, and musicians who serve weekly at their local church, The Journey Church, Lebanon, TN (Nashville). With biblical integrity and steadfast creativity, their aim is to write, record, and lead songs that are truthful and clear.
In 2020, when everything shut down, it was a good time to assess everything. Philosophy of ministry, song selection, elements of service… everything. After taking a deep dive into songs that were resourcing the Church at the time of the shutdown, Brett Perkins (Worship Pastor at The Journey Church) noticed a concerning shift in popular worship music. There seemed to be a growing pool of songs that sacrificed content at the altar of creativity. The songs that were being produced were creative and compelling, but the content was ambiguous and unclear. This was (and is) dangerous territory to venture into. So, for the sake of clarity and care for the people of The Journey Church, a team of pastors and writers gathered together to fight for truth and beauty for their people. This was the origin of Journey Worship Co. Since the initial first day of writing in the fall of 2020, Journey Worship Co. has produced 2 full-length, live albums, along with a Reimagined for Kids album, and an acoustic EP (Green Room Sessions). They’ve traveled all across the eastern part of the US and their music has been lead and sung in churches across the world. JWC also plans to release their first full-length studio Christmas record this Christmas season. To keep up with their releases and whereabouts, follow them on socials and sign up for their mailing list. In the mean time, check out their music on all streaming platforms. You can also find their videos on YouTube. |
FAQs
What is Super Summer?
Super Summer is a discipleship/evangelism leadership conference designed to provide qualitative spiritual growth and help develop student leadership in Mississippi churches. Utilizing a camp setting, for 29 years, Super Summer has challenged students to learn how to penetrate their culture for Christ.
Super Summer is not for everyone in your youth group. It is designed for students who personally have a desire to grow spiritually. Students come to Super Summer knowing that they will be challenged not only to grow, but to actively share their faith with others. Church leaders are responsible for sending only students that meet the requirements set forth for participation.
Super Summer is designed to build on previous years. However, a junior or senior in high school who has never attended will still find that the camp is relevant to him/her. First-year students study basic discipleship issues. Second-year students get introduced to worldview, different beliefs, and character issues. Third-year students focus the entire week on becoming a leader in all areas of life. Fourth-year students concentrate on a biblical worldview. Fifth-year students spend the week reviewing and refining what they have learned over the past four years especially concerning servant-leadership. This includes hands-on missions experience, usually in the inner-city Jackson area.

Who Can attend super summer?
Each group must have at least one male adult if male students are attending and one female if female students are attending. Adults participate in the Plaid School. Team Leaders (usually, but not limited to college students) come to Super Summer early for training and serve as family group leaders within the schools. Team Leaders have specific requirements they must meet to be eligible to serve. Super Summer teaching staff is comprised of Student Ministers within our state and are recruited by our Super Summer Executive Committee.
WHAT WILL ATTENDEES BE STUDYING?
First-year students study basic discipleship issues. The exception is older first-year students (who will not have the opportunity to return to Super Summer) because their need for exposure to big issues is greater. Second-year students get introduced to worldview, different beliefs, and character issues. Third-year students focus the entire week on becoming a leader in all areas of their life. Fourth-year students concentrate on Christian Worldview for the week. Fifth-year students spend the week reviewing and refining what they have learned over the past four years and are also moved into action as they spend portions of their week in ministry. As you can see, each year a student attends Super Summer, his experience builds on the previous year(s).
WHAT'S THE DEAL WITH COLOR SCHOOLS?
