worship ministry thoughts

i’ve decided to start a new blog category “worship ministry thoughts” that will be a place for me to collect ideas and tips about leading a church worship ministry. things i’m learning on the job. things i’ve collected from others along the way. (i’d love for anybody to add your own thoughts as well.)

i’ve been involved in full-time worship ministry for 8 years now, the first 3 as a arranger/M.D. and the last 5 as a worship pastor. like anyone, i’ve experienced both times of rapid growth and development and other times of plateau. currently, i feel as though God is really teaching me a lot as a worship leader. i’m gaining confidence like never before and i’m sensing His direction in “real time” as i’m leading.

i’m excited about what God’s doing at Crosspointe Church where i serve. i love the staff team he’s assembled. i love the musicians he’s brought together for our worship band. Most of all, i love being a part of a church community that’s committed to inviting people on the journey of following Jesus, and particularly those who have previously stopped listening.

in this category, i’ll share my observations and insights on what i’m learning while leading at crosspointe, and hopefully some of you fellow worship leaders will chime in with tips of your own.

rock on!
