Would you humor me and allow me to say the quiet part out loud?

Your worship team leader has specific expectations of you as a worship team member. There are things that he or she wishes that you would do every week…

Do you want to lead your worship TEAM well?

Every great worship team has a great worship team leader. And there are 3 specific things that every great worship team leader does…

Culture is what your worship team is. It's how you do things and why you do them.

The scary part is that your worship team will form a culture whether you want it to or not. You probably already have one even if you haven't defined it yet…

I'm sure it's happened to you before... it's the day of worship rehearsal and you get a text from a team member: "Hey! Sorry! I can't make it tonight. But don't worry. I'll be there on Sunday!"…

What change are you trying to implement in your worship team right now?

Do you want them to memorize their music? Are you trying to implement a different style of worship? Do you want them to be more free to express themselves on stage? Or maybe you want them to simply show up on time?…

Worship team devotionals are one of the BEST times to lead your worship team! But often times it feels like they just fall flat…

What's the worst worship rehearsal you've ever had?

If you've been in worship ministry for any amount of time, I'm sure you've had at least one rehearsal that has just bombed! It felt like pretty much everything went wrong…

Leading a worship team is hard! There are so many things to focus on...

You've got to schedule volunteers. You've got to pick songs. You've got to run rehearsals. You've got to work with the sound team. You've got to set up and tear down…

You never make excuses in your worship ministry do you?

It's easy to complain in church. There are never enough volunteers. There's never enough time. There's never enough money…

Be honest... how prepared is your worship team for worship rehearsal?

It can be super frustrating when worship team members don't show up to worship rehearsal prepared. They don't know their parts. They don't know what key you're playing in. They don't even know what songs you're leading on Sunday…

What if I told you, you're introducing new worship songs WAY too often?…

You only have a limited amount of things that you can invest in in your worship ministry. Your resources (money, time, and energy) are limited.

Most of us worship leaders instantly think about investing in things that cost money - a new sound system, a new guitar, a better microphone...

But there are a ton of things that you can invest in in your worship ministry that don't cost anything!

There's one final step to building a worship team that you CAN'T miss!

It's assimilating new members into the culture of your team.

That's how you get them to stick around for a long time…

You need a system for people to go through when they show interest in joining your worship team.

Part of that system includes a worship team AUDITION.

It's not as scary as it sounds...

Is it a struggle to recruit new worship team volunteers? You're not alone.

It'd be great to have a drummer, a keyboard player, and maybe another guitarist. (... and 2 more singers... and...)

But where do you find new worship team volunteers?…

Trying to find more volunteers to serve on your worship team?

It's easy to feel like your pool of volunteers is never big enough and you don't know how to grow your team…

Let's say - hypothetically of course - you have a problem in your worship ministry...

A team member keeps showing up late to rehearsal.

There was an argument between a couple of members and now things are awkward.

Maybe you don't agree with your pastor on something.

While that would never happen on YOUR worship team (right?), how would you address that conflict?…

The difference between a professional sounding worship team and an amateur sounding worship team boils down to one simple foundation - song arrangements…

The longer you serve in ministry, the more time false narratives have to develop.

What happens is you exchange what is REAL for what you WISH WAS REAL.

Before you continue reading this post, hear me out: I'm not looking to destroy your worship leading hopes and dreams BUT I am a realist…

If you're like most worship leaders, you've probably NEVER had to deal with conflict before... just kidding!

Any time you get a group of people together in any capacity, conflict will eventually arise.

As leaders, we need to know how to deal with it…
