A creative project

lead by TJ Cople

Creating for the Creator...

As a creative I feel it is my mission is to inspire and uplift hearts through music and creativity, ultimately leading people into a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ. I aim to carry the message of hope and love found in the gospel to individuals and communities as faithfully as I can.

What is Illumination Project?

Illumination Project is more than just a band; it's my personal creative project with the goal of creating music that worships God in both creativity and truth. Exploring the genre and meaning of what worship looks like for an artist in a modern context.

In doing so I want to document the process and highlight the other creatives I get the privilege of working with!
