As worship leaders, we don't just want to lead our teams musically - we want to lead them relationally and spiritually as well…

Leading a worship team is hard! There are so many things to focus on...

You've got to schedule volunteers. You've got to pick songs. You've got to run rehearsals. You've got to work with the sound team. You've got to set up and tear down…

In Monday's post we talked about how a healthy culture was one of the essential pieces of a sustainable worship ministry.

The truth is culture will naturally develop on your team over time - for better or for worse.

So, if you want it to be for the better, you need a plan to steer the culture in the direction you want it to go…

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…

Leading your worship team is about so much more than just making sure they can play a few songs on a Sunday morning.

Worship team leaders who lead well know that, for their team to truly get better at what they do, they have to teach them…

Worship team devotionals are a great way to regularly communicate vision to your team and pour into them spiritually.

In fact, I think devotionals are so important that I regularly list them as one of the 5 essential pillars of a great worship team rehearsal.

But, for worship team devotionals to truly be effective, they have to be led in the correct way…

If there is one message you can communicate to your team to help them lead worship well, it's this: We are ALL worship leaders.

Those 5 simple words have the power to change EVERYTHING about how your worship team members understand their role…

I challenge you to communicate to your team that "they are ALL worship leaders" before they step in front of your church tomorrow…

If you could only communicate ONE thing to your worship team before they lead this Sunday, what would it be?

For me, it's this: We are ALL worship leaders.

Those five simple words have the ability to change EVERYTHING…

On a recent Insta story poll, I asked "Are you a worship TEAM leader?"

Over 90% of the people who answered, answered: "Yes. I lead a worship team."

It got me thinking: what makes a great worship team leader?

Here are 3 qualities of a great worship team leader…

It's a common story: you start leading worship at your church. You lead a song here and there. Then, you start leading more regularly. Eventually you realize that you not only have the responsibility of leading your church in worship every Sunday, you also have inherited a worship TEAM that you get to lead as well. The problem is: you weren't expecting it. Maybe you don't even feel ready or equipped to lead that team. So, how can you lead them well?…
