GENERAL WORSHIP LEADERSHIP

Multi-Cultural Worship – Oksana Viyuk Field

A conversation about worship on earth as it is in heaven.

Worship Manifesto – Luke Roman / Travis Patton

A look at our core ministry values & building a discipleship culture on our teams.

Why Evaluate Worship? – David Manner

What’s At Stake On Sunday Morning? – Joe Crider

Do we gather to sing songs, and listen to a sermon? Or, do we gather to engage in a formational, life-changing dialogue with the Triune God of the universe who invited us to worship Him and made the way possible through Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit? In this session, we will consider the stewardship and responsibility of worship leadership and ultimately what’s at stake in the lives of our people when we gather. 

Why Do We Gather? – Joe Crider

The answer may seem obvious…but you might be surprised at the number of people in your church who can’t give a solid biblical response to that question. What’s even more concerning is there are worship leaders and pastors who have not thought deeply about that question. Answering the “why” is a vital priority before we plan an work on the “how” we do Sunday worship. 

Using the Psalms in Christian Worship– Joshua Waggener

Consider how this Old Testament resource at the center of your Bible can help you to plan and lead Christ-focused and Scripture-driven corporate worship for the New Testament church.

Strategically Selecting a “Canon” of Songs for Local Church Worship – Joshua Waggener

Consider how this Old Testament resource at the center of your Bible can help you to plan and lead Christ-focused and Scripture-driven corporate worship for the New Testament church.

Church-Life Balance – Charley Lowry
