Tips For Taking Your Worship Team to the Next Level

I’m super excited about this new blog series for worship leaders. If you lead a worship team, you’re probably always wondering how you can take your team to the next level, but don’t know where to start. Sunday comes too quickly for you to get your head above water and catch a vision.

I’d love to help not just by giving you easy answers but by helping you think through what is best for your worship team and your local congregation. We’re not all called to look the same but we are called to excellence.

Improvement = 1 simple step at a time

There is not a “one-size-fits-all”, worship team mold we all should fit in. God moves in different ways and uses different methods to accomplish His sovereign purposes. My purpose here is to simply “stir the pot”, get you thinking, and help you figure out what would work best for your team.

As always, I love when you leave comments and I promise to read and respond to every one and help in any way I can. That’s the reason I do this!

As for the series, here’s what we covered:

Question: Are there other topics I should have addressed? Let me know in the comments!

    A great topic, David. BTW – I’m kind of new to your blog but it is really excellent. Additional suggested topics:

    Dave,
    Looking forward to this series, always room for improvement. I am a volunteer worship leader in a small church with a small volunteer worship team.

    Thanks,
    Dave

    Looking forward to catching “The beginner’s guide to clicks & loops in worship” — something that has really helped our bands go to the next level.

    • David Santistevan says

      Thanks Bryan! Can’t wait to start writing. What have you used as far as clicks & loops go?

  6. Marla says

    Regarding the “Next Level” section on confrontation – how do I, as the music director, confront our worship band leader about singing flat? This person’s voice has a limited range, but the person is enthusiastic and a good fellow worship leader. Also, got to mention that the person has trouble with any criticism and gets upset at the least little challenge to their ministry.

    • Annie Sobretodo says

      I also have the same problem. What is the effective way of doing it so without hurting them?

  7. Christopher says

    We have an amazing worship consultation and training program. We can take any current worship team and dramatically improve their performance. Visit commissionchurch.com and call us for a consult. Let us help you get the most from your worship experience.

  8. Annie Sobretodo says

    Your site is truly an answered prayer, very timely with all my concerns and I’ll be sharing it with my team as well.
    Please keep on inspiring us and teach us through this site. God bless you more! Let’s continue to lead people in True Worship!

    • Tom says

      David, please help. Our worship leader will not take any help about singing or playing skills or the way songs are played. Leader sings flat, sings harmony when it should be melody. How do I say something without hurting there feelings. and will not listen to anyone for help . I feel it’s distracting to the congregation, asking them over and over to sing along during worship. Send your answer in email to me please.

    I like when you said that there is not a one size fits all. I definitely agree that different people have different ways to worship the Lord and they learn differently. I will keep this in mind as I try to lead my team in the right direction.

    Would making 8 or 10 thousand dollars a month from the simple blog change your life.
    Without much effort whatsoever you could be much more educated
    for the subject. Parents can get the animated or children’s movies on demand,
    along with the kids might be quiet for two hours.

    And live in the arms of the fictitious Adonis that you have conjured
    as the fantasy mate. Until you get the feet under you, you have to minimize the information you take in, and TV news is
    the first to go. You will quickly recognize similar movement patterns
    for most currency pairs.

  16. computer works says

    If your tech support vendor is directing that you download Linux OS as ISO file,
    be sure to have a fast internet connection in your system.

    Be sure to make sure connections especially those involving cards.
    The dll error arises as a result of the dll file failing to communicate a selected command
    that can enable a selected program to open.
