Disclaimers•We are discussing Corporate Worship• I am a believer in participatory worship• I am not an expert in Music, but rather
a worship Practitioner• You will not agree with all of what I
say, Nor should you

that Changes US!•Worship is all about God, and a
little about us.
My Core Values for Corporate Worship
• Worship Leaders Are really Lead Worshippers• Worship Leaders must be Real• Lead, Don’t Perform• Do Good music No matter when or by whom, it
was written.• Worship should always be User Friendly• Worship should be Uplifting or Celebrative
Effective Worship Planning• Step 1 - You have to begin Somewhere• Theme• Scripture• Song• Communicate with your Senior Pastor
Effective Worship Planning• Step 2 - You need to understand the
parts to make the service Whole•What are the normal parts of a
Worship Service?•What is the function of each part.• Does each part flow into the next part.
Effective Worship Planning• Step 3 - Each Service should be the Same...Only
different.• Possible items to use for variety• Music• Video• Drama (not the teenage kind!!!)• Testimonies• Interviews• Other?!?
Effective Worship Planning• Step 4 - Music isn’t everything, its the only thing! (Not
Really:)• Music speaks to the heart.• Singing makes you feel better.• Singing Together is an incredible picture of the
Kingdom of God• What Music?• Make it flow...Drive the Train...Know your
destination!
