Wow, we’re only a few weeks away from our Worship Leader Roundtable Retreat (Sept. 28 & 29) and our EQUIP Church Leadership Training Conference (Sept. 27 & Oct. 3). There’s a lot of excitement about each of these events and I think they’re going to be a great success. Some have inquired why each of these events is scheduled so close to the other and what the thrust of each one will be. Here’s some brief insight:


The ROUNDTABLE is geared toward full-time worship leaders who desire to connect with other worship leaders like themselves in a casual setting to regroup, grow, get ideas for their ministries, share common challenges and find creative solutions and to be mentored by a seasoned worship leader with a great heart. We’ve limited this event to the FIRST 40 WHO REGISTER because we want it to be intimate and personal. Jeff Deyo will have the chance to be transparent with us and will open the floor Q & A in the last session. There will also be a Late-Night Coffee House where songwriters will have a chance to share one of their favorite worship songs with the group and give it a test run.


The EQUIP Training is an opportunity for lay worship and media team members to get some hands-on and practical training. There will be 12 different workshops offered that will hone in on four key areas of worship ministry: 1) vocalists, 2) instrumentalists, 3) audio technicians and 4) visual media personnel. There’s no better way to invest in your worship ministry team than to get them all in a van and experience a great day of team-building, both on the way there and back AND through the classes they will experience.
