Watch. Listen. Encounter Again.

Jalen Bell is a Lansing-area artist whose Spotlight feature at T.L.C.W.E. introduced a gift that Lansing has needed to hear for a long time. His tenor voice carries both power and vulnerability — the kind of sound that makes a room stop and pay attention, then slowly open up. Jalen's ministry goes beyond the song; it creates an invitation for people to encounter something real. His presence at T.L.C.W.E. was a reminder that God is raising up voices in this city that are anointed, ready, and carrying a word the church needs to receive.

Jillian Lawrence graced the T.L.C.W.E. stage as a Spotlight Artist with a presence and a voice that the room responded to from the moment she began. Her gift is not just in what she sings but in how she carries herself — with a grace and an authority that speaks to someone who has found her identity in God rather than in the approval of the audience. Jillian's appearance at T.L.C.W.E. was a gift to the collective and to the city, and her voice left a mark on every person in the room that night.

G-Squared — the duo of gifted worship artists who brought their unique sound and ministry to the T.L.C.W.E. stage — delivered exactly what their name promises: something seasoned, soulful, and spiritually grounded. Their Spotlight feature was a reminder that the body of Christ contains multitudes of gifts, and that T.L.C.W.E. exists to give those gifts a platform. Salt and pepper for the soul is not just a tagline; it is a description of what G-Squared brings every time they minister. Their appearance added a flavor to the encounter that could only come from them.

Elder Thad Wills is a Lansing Legend whose voice and presence carry the kind of authority that only comes from decades of faithful ministry in this city. Called upon at T.L.C.W.E. encounters to speak the Word of God over the room, Elder Wills brings a prophetic clarity and a pastoral weight that sets the spiritual temperature for everything that follows. He is not a guest appearance — he is a spiritual father whose investment in what T.L.C.W.E. is doing speaks to how seriously he takes the next generation. When Elder Wills speaks, the room is built up.

Madison Dantley brings her alto voice and a heart of sincere worship to the T.L.C.W.E. collective with a gift that is as genuine as it is powerful. Her voice adds a rich, grounded depth to the harmony section that anchors the collective's sound and gives the sopranos a foundation to soar over. Madison does not sing to be seen — she sings because she is compelled to. Her presence on the vocal team reflects the standard T.L.C.W.E. holds for every person on the platform: gifted, surrendered, and fully committed to the encounter over the performance.

Gregory D Productions is the creative force behind the visual legacy of T.L.C.W.E. Specializing in photography, videography, DJ services, and content creation, Gregory DeMyers Jr. has been there to capture every encounter — every raised hand, every moment of breakthrough, every face changed by the presence of God. His goal is simple: deliver high-quality visuals and experiences that make an impact. From worship nights to community festivals, Gregory doesn't just document the movement — he helps tell its story.

The passion for photography was embedded in my DNA. Photography is how I scribe on this life journey, as each picture can speak a thousand words.

ITNJ (In The Name of Jesus) Photography was born when I realized that photography is meant to glorify God through His creation. Each picture captures the beauty of something or someone that God created.

I am honored to capture the beauty, the pain, and everything in between.

Every moment tells a story, and every story deserves to be remembered. Through Destined to Last Photography, the mission is to capture more than images — it's about preserving moments that carry meaning, connection, and legacy. Whether documenting families, special celebrations, worship gatherings, community events, or the intensity of competition on game day, each moment is approached with intentionality, creativity, and care.

Based in Lansing, Michigan, Destined to Last Photography specializes in portrait, event, and sports photography, creating timeless images that reflect authentic experiences and genuine emotion.

As part of the T.L.C.W.E. family, Destined to Last Photography helps capture the moments where unity, worship, prayer, and community come together — ensuring that what God is doing in Lansing is remembered for generations.

"Creating timeless images. Preserving lasting stories."

Gabe Hammes serves T.L.C.W.E. as a visual specialist, capturing the many angles of legacy within each encounter through both photography and videography. Originally from outside of Lansing, Gabe found his way into the T.L.C.W.E. family through a shared conviction that every move of God deserves to be remembered. His eye for the moment — the raised hand, the tears, the expression of someone encountering God — gives the collective a visual record that words alone cannot carry. Gabe does not just document encounters; he honors them. His work is ministry through a lens.

Alex Canady brings the voice of the organ to T.L.C.W.E.'s live worship sound — an instrument that carries the weight of the Black church tradition and the history of Spirit-filled worship in its every chord. His organ ministry adds a dimension to the collective's sound that connects the movement to something ancient and holy. Alex understands that the organ is not background music; it is a declaration. His gift grounds the collective's sound in the rich heritage of gospel worship, reminding the room that what T.L.C.W.E. is building has roots that go back generations.

Wesley Canady's hands on the keyboard are an act of worship. His musicianship blends technical excellence with spiritual sensitivity in a way that serves the moment rather than the musician, and the T.L.C.W.E. sound is richer because of it. Wesley carries his gift with a humility that is rare and a precision that is evident — each note placed with intention, each transition in service of where the Spirit is leading. As part of the T.L.C.W.E. band, Wesley brings both skill and surrender to the keys, and the combination creates something the room can feel.
