BREAKOUTS

“On-ramping in 3 Easy Steps”
Steve Garrett, presenter

Learn how to audition, interview and envision the new folks. Gain practical advice for sorting out who’s ready and who’s not — and what to do about those who aren’t ready yet.

 

“How to Run a Solid Sound Check – and Ridiculously Fun Rehearsal”
Steve Garrett, presenter

We’ll cover everything from call time to set-up, line checks to rehearsals plus arrangements, band dynamics and transitions.

 

“Principles & Practices of Vocal Arranging for Congregational Worship”
Steve Tice, presenter

We’ll survey in broad strokes the options that worship teams utilize to facilitate congregational participation in worship. We’ll practice together by actually trying out these principles in song.

 

“Navigating Music & Worship in a Multigenerational & Multicultural Church”
Emily Donlan, presenter

As the makeup of the church body changes, worship leaders are left asking questions like: “How do we include all believers in our expression of worship?” “How do we get our congregations on board with new styles of music?” “What would it require to change our worship culture, and what do we change it to?” The church is diverse, and our worship should reflect the diversity of God’s people. Jump in on the discussion as we explore welcoming worshipers from every tribe and tongue!
