Building worship teams

This course aims to build the confidence and ability of people from congregations to plan and lead worship together. It's about enabling congregations to shape worship that is contextual, participative and sustainable.

The course will be run by Iain McLarty (Priority Areas Worship Development Worker) and Jo Love (Wild Goose Resource Group). It will be useful for congregations who are starting to build a worship team for the first time or it can be an opportunity for growth for existing teams.

We are asking for a minimum of three people to take part from each congregation or parish grouping. They should be able to explore their local context together and be involved in leading worship locally together between training days.

We would encourage those in worship leadership roles (such as ministers, musicians etc.) to be a full part of the team during the training but it is also possible for teams in congregations without a minister to take part as long as there is support from the Interim Moderator and a plan for how the team can be involved in leading services.

The first cohort of this piece has already started, but other cohorts will come. If you would like to know more or note interest please get in touch with Iain McLarty.
