The Big Idea
Not a one shot clinic that loads you up with a bunch of valuable information that you mostly can’t remember a few weeks later. Nope. Instead, we have developed another method of coming alongside your team that leads to incremental, more sustained, and lasting growth & depth on your worship team and in your church worship.
It’s called Worship Team Expedition and it’s a series of live clinics, online video tutorials, team activities & discussion guides, and devotions designed to help your team take solid steps forward over a 2-3 month period. As you look at the options below, you’ll notice that there are elements of our training that happen before we get together and continue on after we’ve had our kick-off weekend. The kick-off events are designed to fire up your team and get them excited about moving forward, then the follow up materials are designed to help them take the steps that will solidify what they are learning and really make it stick. We have repeatedly seen worship teams take quantum steps forward with this kind of mentoring and coaching, it’s been such a blessing to see.
If you’re ready to help your team go to the next level of effectiveness, let’s talk. Our coaching team would love to come alongside you, encourage you, and help you unleash worship in your church like never before!
Options and Honorarium
We like to approach the honorarium as an investment per person who attends on a Sunday because this training positively impacts the entire congregation– not just those on the platform who receive coaching and encouragement. Many churches have found that investing $20-30 (or sometimes even as little as $10-15) per congregant yields a significant return, that the worship experience takes a major step forward in the church.

The Benefits of a coaching team
If you bring in our coaching team, your team gets nearly 1 on 1 coaching from fabulous musicians/technicians with a heart for God and people. It’s kind of like a worship conference coming to you and the teaching team customizing the coaching based on what your team needs (this is actually what I did when I started at our church to kick-start the worship ministry- we grew our team immensely in numbers and depth after that). We can just bring the clinicians that fit the team and ministry you have. With the options below (which we can customize for you), you would have a team of seasoned worship musicians/techs surrounding your group in a personal way, evaluating their specific needs/challenges, and helping them grow over a period of time. It’s been dynamite for the churches that have done it so far!

Some creative options for funding the honorarium:
•Spread it out over a few months (just like the training)
•Each worship team member pitches in an amount they can afford
•Receive a special offering at church
•A family in the church that really believes in this helps underwrite it
