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  

There are a lot of roles in the church and the people who are staffed in churches often wear a myriad of hats. Sometimes wearing multiple hats comes with some challenging pieces to serving in the church.   In our conversation with Nathian Finochio, founder of TheosU, Jake and Luke dive into where they see some challenges in working for the church, we help the listeners figure out how to finally get that guest speaker's powerpoint up on the screen, and we talk about the hope we have for good longevity in the Worship pastor and tech director staff roles within modern day churches.   To learn more about theosU you can check out https://www.theosu.ca/about   If you're looking for pastoral development and to grow in your leadership skills, you can join Worship Ministry School by applying at worshipministryschool.com/apply
