This year's Homecoming performing artist is Clay Crosse. Clay's new release, A Different Man, was written after eighteen years of frustration with his inability to walk rightly with God. This album reflect a dramatic changes in Clay's life, including a complete rededication to Christ, and facing the reality that he was living for his own desires. In his own words, "My hope is that my story will inspire you to evaluate your walk with God and always strive to grow as a Christian. A Different Man was written and recorded during my time of healing. It is a testimony of a victory and a testimony of God's grace."

Clay performed Friday, November 10, at the Homecoming banquet.
