Join us at 10:30 a.m. on Sunday, April 5, 2026, at UTC’s McKenzie Arena for a powerful morning of faith, hope, and community — featuring Willie Robertson from Duck Dynasty.

Willie Robertson is more than a television personality. As the star of the hit show Duck Dynasty and CEO of Duck Commander, Willie has built a platform centered on faith, family, and authenticity. Through his life story and faith journey — as chronicled in his writings (including his book Gospeler) — he offers hope and encouragement to those seeking purpose, community, and spiritual growth.

With the recent revival of Duck Dynasty (the reboot series Duck Dynasty: The Revival), Willie has reaffirmed that faith remains at the core of everything he does — and he’s bringing that message to Chattanooga.

This is a FREE event with no tickets required.
