In ESSENTIALS IN WORSHIP LEADING, you’ll explore the foundational skills that make great worship leaders.
Worship Leading is all about unpacking the skills and motivations of the effective worship leader, all the way from honing your musical craft, to building a set and rehearsing a group of musicians. Participants will craft a worship set based on input from the course leader, peers and DVDs such as Leading Worship (Vineyard Music, with Dan Wilt, Matt Redman, Brenton Brown, Kathryn Scott, Brian Doerksen, Andy Park, Tim Hughes), with Andy Park’s To Know You More . Those taking the course for university credit will also use other books.
Meant to be enhanced by Essentials Core: Blue, Red and Green, Worship Leading is a powerful and practical entry into the world of consistent and effective worship leadership.

Start A Worship Circle With Others.
We strongly encourage you to you consider doing ESSENTIALS IN WORSHIP LEADING with 3-4 others in a WORSHIP CIRCLE. This has proven to be an optimal way for participants to get their most out of the experience.
ESSENTIALS IN WORSHIP LEADING is a practical, online, 4 week module course for anyone desiring growth in their worship leading skills. Dan Wilt, M.Min., Host of Vineyard Music’s Leading Worship DVD, will lead us in studying the skills of worship leadership. The course only takes 6 hours a week.
Connect with an international learning community of peers. WORSHIP LEADING is the art of effectively leading communities into the presence of God with contemporary and historic music.
Build A Creative Project Throughout The Course.
In Essentials In Worship Leading, you will build a set and create a worship event from beginning to completion, with training via DVD and online media. Students have selected readings and media to get familiar with each week, and then post/interact on a weekly discussion question as a community.
At the end, the Creative Project is a unique worship event you will create, honed throughout our online studies together, which gets posted to our Creative Commons for others to use, comment on and encourage you in.
Here is a summary course outline for the 4 weeks, and a detailed manual will be sent to all registrants close to the course start date.
Course Outline
WEEK 1
Essential Worship Leadership: Called To Lead Worship.
In this week, we begin by considering the calling to lead others in worship. What do our own intimacy and encounter with God have to do with what happens when we lead? How do our lifestyle and character connect with our worship leadership? How can we develop “into” our calling?
WEEK 2
Essential Worship Leadership: Defining Your Role In Your Community.
In this week, we will explore together the roles of the worship leader in any given community or worship setting – the roles of priest, prophet, healer, teacher, evangelist, servant, friend, leader and pastor. How do we weather the ups and downs of worship leadership, and encourage our community to passionately worship?
WEEK 3
Essential Worship Leadership: The Practical Duties Of A Worship Leader.
In this week, participants will learn (and re-learn in some cases!) the foundational ideas in preparing sets, delivering sets, leading a group of other musicians and presentation skills. We’ll look at some basic elements of musicality as well, such as arranging your band and moving forward as a team.
WEEK 4
Essential Worship Leadership: Developing Worship In Your Community .
In this final week, we will dig into mentoring other worship leaders, songwriting, leading worship in different contexts and developing as a lead worshiper. In this final week, creative projects will be presented and evaluated by peers in the course.
