Let Them Partner with You
Their new website will be up and running before the year is out but we wanted to let you know about a resource that is invaluable to your worship ministry. WorshipConsulting.net is a full service consulting company that handles everything from helping you find the right staff for your church to partnering with you to create an awesome worship ministry that truly helps your body worship the living God.
Their unique approach will help you discover the culture of your church and then create a plan to help reach that culture. Not all churches are alike. Taking what works at another church and trying to make it work in yours is a recipe for disaster. WorshipConulting.net brings over 25 years of experience in helping local churches grow fruitful worship and music ministries.
Here are some of the services they offer:
Staff Search we are equipped and ready to help you locate the perfect staff member for your church. Our team will evaluate your churches needs in the area of music and worship and after an extensive search, recommend three candidates that we feel meet the requirements of your churches need.
Worship Service Consulting our team specializes in evaluating the culture of your church and helping you plan services that best minister to YOUR body. Show me a church that is ministering to the body in a way that meets their individual needs and I will show you a healthy growing church. We will look at all the tools available for use in the worship service and help you choose the ones that will minister to your body the best.
Music Consultation music is typically over 70 percent of the participatory part of the worship service in todays church. With churches spending 10 minutes to 45 minutes singing and/or performing, we had better be effective in our presentation and have a specific plan for the purpose of the music. Are we a performance band or a worship band? Do we pay our players or not? We will look at the complete music ministry and help you come away with a plan to hit the mark with your people.
Audio and Video we have some of the sharpest teckies on staff that not only understands the technology of the newest equipment out, but they have a heart to help churches use these tools in an effective manner for the glory of God. We specialize in the complete package for your technical needs. From computers to network systems, sound systems for your worship centers and youth facilities, to IMAG equipment, projectors, plasma systems, graphics for worship and sermons and more. If it is technical and used in the church, we can help you design the best system available for your budget. We pride ourselves of being good stewards with your money. We do not do installs or bidding. We only recommend the equipment you need and direct you to some companies that have great track records helping churches.
Phone and Email Consultation we have just begun a new service that allows you to phone or e-mail questions you may have in your ministries. Our services are based by the hour on response time and phone call lengths. We feel this will help give you a idea of who we are. Also, we want to offer a service for churches that cannot afford our full services at this time.
Media how a church is portrayed in the community is crucial to its success in reaching that community. How many times have you seen a cheesy website for a large church or a awesome high tech site for a church of 50 people? When people are looking for a church, they will try you out based on several things. If they are new to the area, they will look to websites, yellow pages and newspaper ads. Some will find you buy driving by. It the image you are portraying accurate? If its not, people will pick up on that the minute they open the front door to the church.
Staffing Match some people are good at music and others at administration. Some are good with people and others are drained by them. Most music and worship ministries have strong music leadership and often struggle with the admin side of things. This is not a bad thing just a fact. Worshipconsulting.net brings its years of experience to help match up staff within the worship ministry. Through tests and interviews, we can help recommend personality types with specific skill sets that will help your team become better rounded and more effective in ministry.
Worship/Music Director Helps finally we love to assist leaders of churches in the areas of music and worship to strengthen areas where needed. We will help fill in the gaps by recommending additional staff, staff changes if needed, and help you learn to bring in people around you to help with your weaker areas that need a little work. The best and most sought after Worship/Music Leaders are those with skills in administration, management, organization and planning. Being a great musician is not enough anymore. Let us help you become the well round music leader that God has called you to be.
