Worship Leader Training

Worship is given solely for God's glory and honor. God is worthy of praise whether or not we receive anything our self from God in the worship time. But because of his amazing grace and love for us, he comes to us and we feel his presence. Things happen when God comes, he rains on us, he delights over us and quiets us. His love and healing power comes and our lives are changed. We gain a new understanding of who God is, and learn to hear his voice. Our relationship with him is strengthened. Worship is essential in our relationship with God. If we know God at all, how can we ever cease worshiping him?

INTRODUCTION

Hi, I hope that you find this worship leader training a useful resource. When researching for this, I got through a lot of teaching, and was quite overwhelmed by all the different things I had to consider - I felt that if I didn't do everything, then I wasn't doing my job as a worship leader. But that's not true. This teaching isn't a load of rules. It's just a few things I've learnt from my own experience as a worship leader and from the teaching that I've received over the years. Just some friendly advice and guidance to help you in leading worship. Please take it or leave it, it's up to you. There are no rules to worshiping God. I hope you enjoy reading it.

"It really doesn't matter, in my opinion, the form of worship, the structure of worship - What really matters is the reality of worship. Did worship occur?" (John Wimber)
