TESTIFY! is a moment in our worship flow for artists who embody the tradition of storytelling in various forms, to share their gifts. Founded by L Proverbs Briggs, Th.M. and Yani Davis, B.A., this includes, spoken word, conscious/positive hip hop music, old school/classic testimonies and praise reports, tweets and posts, dance, and other worship arts forms that testify of peace, goodness, healing, and the love of God in the midst of real-lived experiences. Nommo is the African word used in several communities that means "the creative power of word" and represents the power of life and death in the tongue. We create with our words and stand in the tradition of those who came before us and stood in the midst of the congregation telling of the struggles and triumphs of life.
