The main sessions will be taught by James Janzen (please see his profile). We are excited to have James share the content he has shared in North America as well as a number of countries in Eurasia with our congregations.  As well we know that there are many in our congregations who have training, knowledge, skills and experience in areas of music leadership that would be of great benefit to their peers.  We are giving you the opportunity to offer short break-out sessions on other topics during the additional workshop blocks. Please see the registration form for more information.

Just as two wings are essential for an airplane to fly, effective ministry depends on a solid biblical foundation and skills: musical and leadership.  Pastors, board members, choral and instrumental conductors, worship leaders, singers, instrumentalists and sound technicians will all find this beneficial.

a) Since the choir continues to play an important part of music ministry, training will be provided in this area in workshops and as part of the evening rehearsal. Choir is an important training ground for all music. James has decades of experience in this field and is eager to share some of his rich and diverse skills in order to encourage, inspired and educate choir conductors.

b) Choir (including Youth and Children’s) and Instrumental Repertoire.  Here participants will play an important role and are asked to share their top ten list of titles.

c) Vocal training for choirs

d) Building Instrumental Groups

e) How to develop worship team

This information will absolutely give you direction and a strong foundation for a future in music leadership. It will also increase your effectiveness as a participant.
