Course Outline (Scheduled Online Class)
Called To Lead Worship
In this section, we begin by considering the calling to lead others in worship. What do our own intimacy and encounter with God have to do with what happens when we lead? How do our lifestyle and character connect with our worship leadership? How can we develop “into” our calling?
Defining Your Role In Your Community
In this section, we will explore together the roles of the worship leader in any given community or worship setting – the roles of priest, prophet, healer, teacher, evangelist, servant, friend, leader and pastor. How do we weather the ups and downs of worship leadership, and encourage our community to passionately worship?
The Practical Duties Of A Worship Leader
In this section, participants will learn (and re-learn in some cases!) the foundational ideas in preparing sets, delivering sets, leading a group of other musicians and presentation skills. We’ll look at some basic elements of musicality as well, such as arranging your band and moving forward as a team.
Developing Worship In Your Community
In this final section, we will dig into mentoring other worship leaders, songwriting, leading worship in different contexts and developing as a lead worshiper. In this final week, creative projects will be presented and evaluated by peers in the course.
