Getty Music has officially announced that respected theologian, author, and pastor Sinclair Ferguson will be among the featured speakers at the upcoming Sing! Conference 2026, set to take place September 7-9, 2026, at the Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center in Nashville.
This year's conference theme, "Symphony of Scripture," will explore the enduring influence of the English Bible on worship, congregational song, literature, theology, and the broader cultural imagination. Through keynote sessions, worship gatherings, theological discussions, concerts, and workshops, the conference will examine how Scripture has shaped the worshipping life of the church across generations and continues to inform Christian creativity today.
Ferguson's participation highlights the conference's emphasis on the theological foundations of worship and the centrality of Scripture in congregational singing. In promotional material released by Getty Music, organizers reflected on the historic impact of translating the Bible from Latin into English, noting that the movement not only placed Scripture into the hands of ordinary believers but also gave the church "a new song on their lips." Ferguson is expected to trace this historical and theological development during his session, helping attendees understand how biblical translation transformed worship practices and encouraged congregational participation in song.
Widely known for his teaching ministry, theological scholarship, and pastoral work, Ferguson serves as a teaching fellow with Ligonier Ministries and has authored numerous influential books on Christian theology, discipleship, holiness, and pastoral ministry. His presence at Sing! 2026 further underscores the conference's ongoing commitment to combining rich theological reflection with practical worship leadership.
The conference will also feature an extensive lineup of internationally recognized speakers, writers, and cultural commentators, including Os Guinness, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Malcolm Guite, and Carolyn Weber. Together, the speakers will address topics related to faith, literature, culture, apologetics, worship, and the continuing influence of the Bible on public life and artistic expression.
Founded by modern hymn writers Keith Getty and Kristyn Getty, the Sing! Conference has grown into one of the most influential worship gatherings in the Christian world. The annual event regularly attracts pastors, worship leaders, musicians, seminarians, church choirs, families, and believers from around the globe who gather for several days of teaching, worship, and fellowship centered on congregational singing.
In recent years, Getty Music has increasingly emphasized the historical roots of hymnody and the role of Scripture in shaping Christian worship traditions. The 2026 conference theme continues that trajectory by inviting attendees to reflect on the Bible not merely as a theological text, but as a force that has deeply influenced music, poetry, language, and communal worship across centuries of church history.
Alongside keynote sessions, attendees can expect large-scale hymn sings, orchestral performances, choir presentations, artist showcases, worship workshops, and collaborative gatherings designed to encourage churches to cultivate biblically grounded congregational worship. The event is also expected to feature performances and appearances from leading Christian artists, worship leaders, and classical musicians associated with Getty Music's global ministry initiatives.
Held at the expansive Gaylord Opryland Resort in Nashville, the conference has become known for its intergenerational atmosphere, drawing both longtime hymn enthusiasts and younger worship leaders seeking deeper theological engagement with church music and liturgy.
Registration for Sing! Conference 2026 is currently open through the official conference website, with organizers encouraging attendees to secure accommodations and conference passes early due to strong annual demand.
