Nashville
A Word about Nashville:
Tennessee is also known as the Music Capital of the World. It certainly is an important center for Christian recording artists, and we hope to be able to develop a convention experience that relates to these important ministries. Youth Convention staff are considering the possibility of a concert by a well-known Christian music artist.
