Leading Worship Matters: A Sourcebook for Preparing Worship Leaders

A comprehensive guide with practical, succinct, easy-to-use tools and resources to support, plan, execute, and evaluate lay worship leadership development. More than 30 contributors have provided helps and training materials for assisting ministers, readers, intercessors, acolytes, ushers, greeters, communion ministers, altar guild, tech ministers, musicians, children’s sermon ministers, and those who care for the worship space. Practical help and support is also provided for both new and seasoned worship leaders through a reproducible library of helpful topics. Includes a CD-ROM and DVD.

Leading Worship Matters is a valuable resource for congregations that want to prepare their worship leaders for a ministry—not just a task—and that want to renew their worship life and deepen their understanding of worship as mission.
