Friday afternoon

Friday afternoon will offer choral reading sessions to find new music for your choirs.

Friday evening will offer classes in each instrument for the band track. Those that play acoustic, electric or bass guitars, keys and drums will have in-depth training from some great musicians. At the same time, the worship leader track (and any others who would like to join in) will have 2.5 hours with Mike Harland, head of LifeWayWorship. This will be tremendous time, learning from one of the best in the field!

Saturday

Saturday will begin with a great plenary session of worship and a message from Mike Harland. Worship Leaders/Planners can choose from a wide variety of classes and tracks on Saturday to fit their needs. The rest of the day is made up of three 90-minute breakout sessions.

The band track will combine to work on band basics throughout the day in the three breakout sessions, learning to play as a group to achieve the best sound for leading our congregations in worship.

Vocalists will have classes with Sheri Gould.

Worship technicians will have multiple classes to choose from in their areas of interest led by clinicians from around our country. We are adding classes each week for this area.

Leaders for Student choirs, children’s choirs and preschool choirs will have classes with some of our country’s best clinicians to help your leaders be the best they can be.

Pianists will have three classes that help them bridge the gap from the traditional world to the contemporary world of worship music led by an expert in the field. These three classes will move you very far in this area.

The Cost

The entire conference is only $30 per person and includes Saturday’s lunch. You won’t find a better value for training anywhere. Note: SPACE IS LIMITED and some tracks may sell out early. Please reserve your space early.

The Choir Retreat

This will be an awesome opportunity for you to bring your entire adult choir (high schoolers are also welcome) for a day of inspiration, fellowship, training and learning new music they can bring home with them. The choir will be given a packet of music that they will learn throughout the day, led by some amazing choral clinicians. These anthems can be taken home and sung in your churches. This is a great way to build choir fellowship and ability while getting ahead on new music. The choir retreat is especially affordable at only $20/person with quantity discounts. This includes lunch!

The Orchestra Retreat

This will be an awesome opportunity for you to bring your entire orchestra or even individual players for a day of inspiration, fellowship, training and learning new music with composer David Winkler. The orchestra will be given a packet of music that they will learn throughout the day. The orchestra retreat is also especially affordable at only $20/person, including lunch, with quantity discounts.

Exhibitors

We will have a number of vendors from around the nation to consult with you on various needs. If your company is interested in having a presence at the EXPO, please contact Kenny Lamm for more information. We have a limited number of tables still available.
