Why Should Our Church Join In?
Our church communities are learning more theology from the songs they sing, than from the messages they are hearing. We are the narrators of the worship Story in our communities – every song we create, song we choose, songlist we create, service we plan – either strengthens our communities as disciples of Jesus or subtly weakens them.
Our view of the Kingdom of God, Worship, Trinity, Incarnation, Christ, The Cross, Resurrection, of what following God in the world means – finds its way into our leadership and influence.
In other words, we narrate views of God, of ourselves, of the world every time we lead. We must strengthen our thoughts in these areas for the sake of our churches, our families, our culture – and the next generations of the worshipping Church. This is EVERY worship leader, songwriter and worship influencers’s responsibility – not just the pastor’s.
As we interact together as a Learning Community, we shape, form and influence one another. Online, we will mutually deepen the theological roots of those who lead people into worship and Christian worldview today.
Then, we all need skills training. Worship Leading, Songwriting, Discipleship and so much more.
What Areas Will We Study?
Via Facebook, iTunes U, live calls, and massive media archives, we’ll “raise the tide” on themes such as:
- What is Worship really all about?
- How do I effectively lead worship?
- What attitudes should I have toward fellow team members?
- Who is the focus of Worship, and what actually happens when we worship?
- What Is The Trinity, and why is understanding Trinity so important?
- How do I work with my worship team and manage them?
- What does the Incarnation and Creativity have to do with our worship?
- What does it mean to be made in the image of God as a worshiper?
- How can I get better at having a devotional life?
- What do the Cross, Atonement and the Suffering God have to do with our singing?
- What do Resurrection and the physical world have to do with true worship?
- What values should I hold as a worship leader/team member?
- What is the New Creation, and Heaven, really all about?
- Is there a Sacred and a Secular world? How should we think about the world in which we live?
- What happens when we worship, and how does that connect to the Kingdom of God?
- How did the ancients view worship? How could we write better songs theologically for our day?
- What is our world longing to see in the worshiping, missional Church today?
And so much more.
A Special Word To Pastors And Denominational Leaders
This Global Call To Worship Development has one purpose, and one purpose only. Our desire is to strengthen, deepen, enrich and transform the theological grid out of which our worship leaders lead, our songwriters write, and our musician’s and teams serve.
Anything you can do to encourage the widest group of your main session leaders and teams, small group worship leaders, youth worship leaders, children’s worship leaders and others to be involved, would be so appreciated.
Our goal is to raise the bar in your local church worship team, as well as to raise it across the country and around the world in the 21st century.
Please, do whatever you can to have your church worship leadership community join us. We believe you will be thrilled with the results!

Endorsements From Contributing Friends
“Hey Guys and Gals, just wanted to say I love Dan Wilt and believe his call to worship leaders to further their growth and development to be a critical one.
I’m fairly convinced that the level of Kingdom activity we see here on earth today, largely depends on the level of spiritual leadership shepherding our communities- particularly in the area of praise and worship. One consistent biblical theme I’ve studied and watched played out time and time again is this: Kingdom breakthrough consistently follows praise and prayer. They are keys that unlock heaven on earth.
As such, I can think of few things more valuable as growing in our understand of the same. I’m in constant need of tools, fellowship and material that expand my horizons, expectation, and vision in the area of worship. Dan is offering the whole package. I highly encourage everyone to partake.”
