Christian Songwriting Community

Lake City Lights is a non-profit ministry under Nashville's Artists in Christian Testimony "ACT" and  we hold Christian Retreats for songwriters who desire to want to make amazing music together. It's for those committed to follow God's calling on their lives as a songwriter. We also have mentorship and are starting a few new things with recording.  Whether you are a seasoned songwriter or just starting out, you will completely enjoy these days of being poured into ..and pouring yourself into the craft of songwriting in an encouraging environment.There's nothing like being with like-minded writers creating together and learning from each other! We love the 2 Timothy 2 concept and encourage different ages at our retreats  (18+)and each retreat has at least 1 pastor attending.. usually a few plus several worship leaders. 

 

 Did you know that most songwriters will tell you the #1 most impactful thing on their journey was a songwriting retreat? no matter your genre or style, age or experience.  Writers will be able to choose what genres they'd like to write in in their rooms but generally they decide on worship, ccm, singer-songwriter.

Writers in the past MI retreat wrote Worship Music for their churches and CCM, Christian pop, Christian R&B, even a few wanted to write Christian Hip Hop! Several of the songs written at Lake City Lights retreat are being produced already! Writers keep all rights to their music and will leave the retreat with several great songs they got to write with a group of great friends, and great contacts for future writes. All retreaters will also have the opportunity to have their releases written at the event Promoted by Lake City Lights in the future. Evenings will be song sharing,co-writes,relaxing,worship, and sometimes demo-making. The family atmosphere is amazing and so much fun!
