The worship team at your church (including the leaders, musicians, and techs) are responsible to be the primary shapers of the worship culture of your congregation. Yep, it goes way beyond picking songs, doesn’t it? There’s a lot on the line. You’ll learn to focus on avoiding three of the major pitfalls every congregation faces, as well as grow in the freedom to experience the yoke that is easy and the burden that is light. You’ll also receive a tool that will help your team be single-minded in its mission. We like to call it “Broccoli.”Dave taught this class at the 2014 Inspire Worship seminar.

Each breathing room is different. It's simply an unscripted night to worship. This particular one is Dave Helmuth and Nate Smoker at Lincoln Park Community UMC on April 10, 2014. Dave just put his iPhone on the grand piano and hit record.

What if you could say that? If you’re the leader, are you doing what you can to feel that and create spaces for your teams to feel that? I you serve on the team, is that your current experience?

Rick tells his story of how he learned to have both passion to lead and compassion for those he leads.The topic of “how engaged/responsive/connected the congregation was on Sunday” is a significant (but often elusive) measuring stick for how well we’re leading. And I mean leading as a team, because no one ever leads alone. It’s easy to hide behind the songs and blow through a set of worship music, missing the opportunity to activate God’s people and nurture their worshiping hearts. Rick Rowe leads with one hand on the keys and one hand in the air, motioning for participation from the congregation. Way beyond giving insights on how to “work a crowd,” he’ll share practical ways of thinking and habits to learn in increasing congregational engagement as a worship-leading team. After 17 years in full-time worship ministry, Rick now lives out his passion for authentic, Christ-honoring worship in the local church by serving with Ad Lib Music as a Worship Coach.With each Fertilizer, you’ll grow in worship, in musicianship, in leadership, in relationship…it’ll be just what you need to grow.
