What others are saying…

“I improved greatly as a musician at SURGE. The instructors gently guided me with my technique, as well as demonstrated new ideas and methods in a non-judgmental way. I was able to try new things in a nurturing environment, as well as receive encouragement in my desire to use my talents to worship God. Thanks to SURGE, I feel inspired, equipped, and prepared to lead worship in front of my church.”

Tucker Young – Christ Place Church

“Finding music camp was like finding a whole group of kids all across the state who are just like me, and who love the Lord and want to use the talents he has given them to serve Him.”

Ashlee Grace Chitwood – First Baptist Newnan (SURGE KIDS staffer; SURGE camp alumni)

“Kids are learning about Jesus and the call on their lives and responding to the call. It’s not just about music for the sake of music or music just for you to have. It’s about music that you can use for the glory of God and the building up of his church.”

Brandon Lewis – Worship Pastor, Warren Church (SURGE Staffer; SURGE camp alumni)
