Worship Leaders Workshop – A "Play-Shop" with Discussion and the opportunity to practice new skills. Participants learn how to build a bridge to new Worship traditions, without losing your constituency.
With a mix of input, demonstration, conversation and hands-on practice, Rich models leadership that engages others in Worship.
Often, the goal is to co-lead a Worship Service, the next morning. Rich encourages your Musicians to lead and his goal is to stay in the wings as much as possible :)
The morning or afternoon is spent together in Play-Shop (workshop), with a rehearsal after Lunch or Supper and before Church on Sunday morning.
Questions and Issues can include:
- What kind of Worship does our Church need? Do I need?
- How do we build a worship bridge to those we are not currently reaching?
- How will Worship meet the needs of diverse age groups
- Is the word “contemporary” helpful?
- Does the Church need Worship Leaders?
- Who can be a Worship Leader?
- The Heart & Art of a Worship Leader
- Building a Strong Team
- Contrast, Counterpoint, Dynamics, Tempo and Transitions
- Concepts to consider in Planning Worship
