Engaging Worship Leadership
Did you know that almost every instance of worship in scripture is accompanied by some sort of demonstrative action? Each Sunday, our teams have the opportunity to corporately express and lead worship offered to the God of the universe. Yet the way in which we communicate it doesn’t always reflect the transformation that’s taking place in our hearts. Those who lead from the platform must consider whether the way in which they respond and lead in worship is adding to or taking away from it in ways that draw attention to themselves rather than pointing people to Jesus. Whether you’re an introvert or an extrovert, you can biblically express and lead people in worship without drawing attention to yourself. Body language, vocal tone, pace, and microphone technique all play a part in effective communication when speaking, reading scripture, praying, and singing. This breakout will give you and your team members practical insight on how to biblically and effectively express and lead authentic and engaging worship.
