14. Create a culture of worship mentoring.
If you don’t invest in this, the process will struggle from the start. Every worship leader, every musician, every tech leader—must have a sense that there is a development expectation and provision in the culture of the church. If it’s just about playing Sunday mornings, there will be a loss of enthusiasm. Everyone wants to grow, to be mentored and developed, in some way.
Any church that wants to plant churches must prioritize this so when the time comes to plant there is already a vibrant community of musicians, techs and growing worship leaders from which to draw.
Other Ingredients
There are a few other things you can do to get things strengthened more quickly as well in your worship ministry.
a. Host extended worship nights (it helps team and church culture).
b. Do worship circles (again, instructions and a vid are in here).
c. Get good tech without extravagance (visuals and sound matter today).
d. Train visual techs (they need input; a great 50 min. free video with guru Nate Ragan is here).
e. Optimize worship environments (small, resonant rooms for smaller groups).
f. Be prepared to start over (sometimes a clean slate helps).
g. Don’t get discouraged; get help (invite it in).
Bless you as you develop your worship ministry with these ingredients and more.
