NY's Kingdom Bound Festival 2016 To Feature Skillet, RED, Rend & For King And Country

Apr 25 2016

The Kingdom Bound Festival, one of the US's largest and longest-running Christian music festivals, is set to return to Darien Lake theme park this summer. The 30th annual festival takes place July 20-23 with more than 40,000 attendees from across the U.S. and Canada expected to attend.

Kingdom Bound 2016 will feature more than 40 musical acts from across the country, including performances by Dove-Award winning rock favorites Skillet and RED, 2 time GRAMMY award winners for King and Country, Irish folk rockers Rend Collective, Dove-award winning storyteller Matthew West, along with KB, Rapture Ruckus, and American Idol finalist Colton Dixon. Leading worship this year will be GRAMMY award winner Matt Maher, Laura Story and perennial favorites Paul Baloche, Robin Mark, Benji & Jenna Cowart as well as a return visit from Dove-Award winner Lenny LeBlanc.

On-site accommodations are available, as well as full event and single day commuter passes. All tickets include access to festival activities as well as admission to Darien Lake Theme and Water Park.

As the festival celebrates 30 years, the theme reflects a return to the basic message that is the theme of Kingdom Bound Ministries, to share the Gospel and to encourage believers. It may be the 30th festival, but it is a year to return to the basics of sharing salvation to those in need.

“It’s time to return to our first love, our passion for Jesus. We need to get back to the basics. How will I practice my faith - what will I speak to others?” said festival director Donna Russo. “The message of salvation has always been the front and center mission of Kingdom Bound.”

Other festival events include Kids Ministry for ages 4-8, Amped Tent for 9-12 year olds, the Kingdom Bound Marketplace, and over 40 inspirational seminars from speakers across the world including National Communicators Nick Vujicic and Reggie Dabbs as well as local speaker Jill Kelly, and her daughter Erin Kelly.

AWAKEN, a new youth program geared to high school and college students will make its debut this year at Kingdom Bound. The morning will begin with breakfast (on-grounds guests only), followed by worship and a morning keynote message. Interactive games will follow and the morning will close with break-out sessions for students and leadership. Wes Aarum, Reggie Dabbs, Jeniffer Dake and Mike Gordon will be among the presenters with music from the Vintage Band and Elmwood Drive.

“Looking ahead, I have been impressed with the urgency of reaching the lost, both collectively as a ministry, and individually,” said Russo. “I Corinthians 12:4-27 reminds us that God has placed gifting within us. Each gift is needed and each works with the other to accomplish the mission of the Gospel.”
