In this episode, we sit down with Scott Gayer, Worship Pastor at the Well in Boulder Colorado. Boulder has its challenges, including being forced to move out of the space your church has been meeting in for years. Oh and not to mention it's not necessarily easy to buy property in Boulder for religious purposes. This is definitely an uphill battle.  Scott and I discuss his approach to worship ministry in a somewhat unreached area of Colorado when it comes to the Gospel. I'm excited for you to hear more of his take.  Don't forget to leave a rating or review if you enjoy the show https://www.instagram.com/sgayer/ https://twitter.com/scottgayer Check out Forgotten Voyage Here https://churchfront.me/forgottenvoyage Apply to Join Worship Ministry School: https://churchfront.me/apply Free Worship and Production Toolkit: https://churchfront.me/toolkit Shop Our Online Courses: https://churchfront.me/courses Join us at the Churchfront Live Conference: https://churchfront.me/conference Beginner Church Sound Course: https://churchfront.me/church-sound Follow Churchfront on Instagram or TikTok: @churchfront Follow on Twitter: @realchurchfront Gear we use to make videos at Churchfront: https://kit.co/churchfront/youtube-setup • • • • • Musicbed SyncID: MB01VWQ69XRQNSN

In today's episode I sit down with a local worship leader to the Colorado area Ian Dizon. I was so thankful for this episode because Ian hit on two of what we believe to be core pillars to Worship ministries and that is Leadership Clarity and Streamlined Systems. Ian talks about his upbringing as not only a worship leader, but primarily as a servant to his local church and how it's impacted his team. He also shares some of his systems he's integrated to help him plan to be spontaneous. You heard me right and you are not going to want to miss that section of this episode.

Hey before today’s episode, a quick house keeping announcement. In today's episode, I sit down with Bre Terzic, a recent Worship Ministry School graduate from the Accelerator Program. Bre stepped into our program a little over a year ago as a part time leader in a church plant looking for guidance and support in her role as she aimed to recruit, train and lead her team toward better results. Little did she know all the Lord had in plan not only for her as a leader over the next year, but also for her church and ministry. I'm so excited for you to hear her story and journey in ministry. Today's episode is brought to you by the Worship Accelerator Program. In the Worship Accelerator, our team at Churchfront partners one on one with ministry leaders like Bre, whether you're volunteer, part time or full time at a church to help you accomplish your specific goals in your ministry. Those goals could be growing your team, or leveraging a strategy with technology. Or in reality, you might not know what your goals need to be, but you know your ministry has greater potential. Our coaches help with it all and would love to partner with your ministry. Every student starts in the same spot which is on a phone call with one of our advisors who can ask some specific questions to discern where the pain points are and what kind of goals you want to accomplish in your ministry. You can schedule your free phone call at Worshipministryschool.com/apply For more resources to grow you and grow your ministry, you can head to Churchfront.com Thanks for listening and we'll see you again next time. www.worshipministryschool.com

One of the most important aspects to our worship services is singing Gospel-centered songs that point people toward Jesus.   And one of the most common struggles of worship and tech leaders in the church is trying to train our vocalists to execute harmonies correctly, sing confidently, or stay in tune without additional tools like Autotune.   For many years, our options have been to dedicate hours of our own time, whether we are good teachers or not, trying to train our team, or the other option was to recommend a private coach or vocal teacher.   Charmaine over at Worship Vocalist came along and built another, better option. Worship Vocalist is an online resource to help your vocalists execute with excellence and get the quality of a private vocal coach at the comfort of their own home.   I'm so excited for you to hear more about the resources she provides and how its serving the church.   If you enjoy this episode, share it with a vocalist on your team, as there is tons of practical advice in this episode Charmaine graciously brought to our listeners.   And check out Worship Vocalist over on their website: www.worshipvocalist.com   Charmaine also provides an incredible warmup resource you can access for free with you and your team that you can find in the link below: www.worshipvocalist.com/freewarmup    Don't forget to subscribe so you don't miss out on any future episodes we have coming your way.   And don't forget to check out worship ministry school to get more step by step training in leadership development, leading your musicians or tech team, or leverage today's latest technology for your worship services. www.worshipministryschool.com

How do you balance being a new worship leader, a new mom, and transitioning ministry roles from Youth Ministry all the while leading a team that is older and more experienced than you?   In today's conversation with recent Worship Ministry School graduate, Shannon Evans, we talk about all of those things.   Shannon had unique ministry goals that can't be copy & pasted from another ministry, so we partnered alongside her in the Accelerator program so she could have unlimited access to customized support and coaching as well as some coaches in her corner to help her when she got stuck.   If you enjoy this episode, share it with a friend, share it on social media, or leave a rating and review to let the team know.   Thanks again to Shannon for giving of her time, and we know you'll find loads of value from the insight she brought to this conversation.   @Rhettheaded_evans centralcitychurch.net www.worshipministryschool.com/apply

What do guitars, mountain bikes and your worship team all have in common? Jason Houtsma speaks to it in today's episode.   Jason Houtsma runs a platform called Worship Artistry where the user experiences a private music teacher environment to learn the latest worship songs on drums, guitar, keys, and vocals. Your whole team can get access and they're adding to their catalogue daily. This is an incredible resource for worship teams to step up their musicianship and increase their excellence.

In this episode, Zac Hicks gives us tools to help us plan and improve the accuracy and effectiveness of what we say or pray between songs as worship leaders.   Zac dives into John 14:26-27 as well as John 16:13-14 to direct us to what Jesus says about the Holy Spirit and how that context might help us understand planning vs. spontaneous leadership during our worship services.   Don't forget to check out Zac Hick's book The Worship Pastor Daily Psalm Readings www.worshipministryschool.com

In this episode, we recapped Adam's trip to Hilton Head Presbyterian Church where he visited Josh Miles who is an Accelerator Pro student in Worship Ministry School. Accelerator Pro members get 4 onsite days with a Churchfront team member to optimize their systems, train their volunteer teams, and tweak systems that need attention to get the results of the Worship Ministry School student.   If you're interested in having one of our team members come to your church, you can hop on a free Strategy Session by filling out a form at worshipministryschool.com and hop on a call with one of our coaches to help you drill down into what the current problems are in your ministry, assess your goals and what the best course of action would be to get you to achieve those goals. Many of our students actually don't need a ton of new gear, sometimes an adapter here and there, or a new piece of software to streamline some systems, but most ministries don't need tens of thousands of dollars of new gear but rather a better understanding and education on how to use the current capable gear they already have on hand.   If you want to see some visuals of Adam's experience, you can checkout the youtube video where Adam recaps his time with Josh.   I hope you enjoy Adam's recap of his Worship Tech Makeover at Hilton Head Presbyterian Church.   www.worshipministryschool.com
