Worship Leader Boot Camp @ Mooresville Participant Information

Hello! I am so excited that you are taking time out of your busy schedule to attend the Worship Leader Boot Camp. I have looked forward to this event for some time and have been praying that each participant will renew their personal times of worship and become equipped to renew the times of corporate worship in their local churches.

Please be aware that our participants come from very different backgrounds and from churches with varying styles of worship. Some churches represented may be very traditional, using only organ and/or piano for worship leadership, while others may use a full band. Some churches are attempting to have “blended” or contemporary worship, yet they are not sure quite how to pull it off with biblical integrity and musical excellence. This retreat will meet all of you where you are and equip you with tools to take your church’s worship to the next level.

I have drawn from some of the most widely-used modern worship songs for use this weekend. I realize that some of you have not had exposure to some of these songs, while others will feel these songs may be a bit dated. My goal is to find a common ground upon which the variety of churches present can meet. To help us all get the most out of the weekend, I am giving you a homework assignment! Below, you will find a link to a list of songs that you should be familiar with before coming. We will use these songs in some worship times. You will get much more out of our time together if these songs are somewhat familiar to you. I will list the song and a link to YouTube for you to listen to the song–each video has the audio and the lyrics. Additionally, I ask that you join me in praying for this event. I am lifting each one of you up by name and praying for your churches. Most of all, I pray that God will be glorified throughout the weekend.
