Learning to Lead Worship—Forming Worship Leaders in Congregations and Schools

Every worship leader—every preacher, musician, artist, media specialist, hospitality provider and more—grows into this role over time. There is so much to learn about worship on so many levels—theologically and pastorally as well as technically. This learning happens in many different settings, through trial and error as well as reading and study, through formal courses as well as informal, off-hand comments in the middle of a service or rehearsal. This seminar will explore the process of teaching and learning worship, and is intentionally designed to both address first-time Symposium attendees as well as veteran teachers of worship. Plan on coming away with practical ideas for worship leading and worship teaching to adapt to a variety of settings, as well as a set of generative questions that may well inspire you to come up with even more effective approaches which we can feature in future conferences.
