Worship Band: Planetshakers & River Valley Worship

Planetshakers
Forming for the first Planetshakers Conference in 1997, the Australian Christian worship band, Planetshakers is passionate to see generations worldwide unite together to worship God.

With over 20 internationally acclaimed albums, the band tours annually to the USA, South America, UK, Europe, South Africa, South East Asia, Australia and New Zealand.

Guest Artist: 321 Improv
321 Improv Comedy will bring tears to your eyes, a pain to your side and they’ll make your face ache with laughter! An evening with 321 Improv is unlike any you’ve been a part of before. It is a unique interactive comedy experience. The three guys in 321 Improv instantly turn audience suggestions into hilarious scenes. No two shows are the same!

321 Improv Comedy is: Carl Crispin of Boca Raton, FL; Mike Domeny, of Birmingham, AL; and Jeremy Schofield, who lives in Oklahoma City, OK. Crispin (Co-founder and member of CPR Improv Comedy from 1992-2004) started 321 Improv in 2004 and has been traveling and performing improv full time since 1997. Domeny and Schofield both bring years of comedy and improv experience to the team as well as a level of energy that makes the show completely unpredictable.

321 has performed for various audiences from 50 to 10,000, at various student and adult events, but the typical 321 Improv Comedy show is hosted by a local church. An evening with 321 Improv at a church is an opportunity to build community among the adults of the church; to invite unchurched friends to see what it’s all about; or just enjoy an evening out with a spouse or some friends.

Since the group was formed in 2004, 321 Improv Comedy has been in high demand for events across the United States and Canada. They’ve performed in more than 40 states and 4 Canadian provinces for over a half million people.

The three members of 321 Improv have come together to join in a ministry that attempts to glorify God in everything they do. Carl sums it up this way, “Our goal is to use comedy to spread a message of true joy that can only come from a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.”
