Quotes[edit]
Our concept of "community," is one that takes the emphasis off of the particular artist who may have their name on the song, and places it where it belongs, in worship and exaltation of God.
— Steve Hindalong, Producer
Never before have so many artists joined together, and collaborated together, with one purpose - worshipping God. It's been amazing to see how these different groups have embraced the idea of working with each other.
