Think about all the different pieces that make up a worship ministry...

At it's core you've got: some musicians who lead worship, a worship rehearsal, and worship services.

Most leaders can get those pieces up and running.

But, it's so important to - not just build a worship ministry - but to build a SUSTAINABLE worship ministry…

I challenge you to watch a training video today…

Let's be honest: leading worship can be pretty intimidating.

You're in front of your church singing and playing music and it feels like everyone is watching you.

So, it's no surprise that worship leaders experience stage fright from time to time…

If you haven't heard yet, I've had a nice 10 month break from leading worship.

That's right! About 10 months ago, I stepped away from my position as full-time worship pastor at the church I was leading at and have only led worship ONCE since then.

These past several months have been interesting. I've learned A LOT!…

If you've been leading worship for any amount of time, chances are you've probably made a mistake or two...

Hey! I know how it is: you just saw a new gear video on YouTube or you learned about some new piece of gear another church got and you think to yourself, "I NEED that."

It happens to me all the time and, honestly, I don't even like gear.

It seems like, if we could just spend a little money, our problems would be solved…

Do you ever feel like you've sung a worship song too often and your church is probably tired of it?

Well, the truth is: usually your church ISN'T tired of it.

In fact, by the time you're tired of a song, your church is probably just starting to like it…

I challenge you to ask someone to help you tomorrow…

Anyone can create a worship set list that sounds good...

You pick a good balance of fast and slow songs, you try to match the keys of songs as best as you can, and you pick songs people know...

But, just because a worship set list SOUNDS good doesn't mean it serves your church well!…

It can be a little intimidating leading at a church you've never led at before.

You don't know the culture. You don't know the people you'll be leading. And you're not sure what gear they have.

That's why it's important to clearly and intentionally communicate with the church you'll be leading at beforehand!…
