2026 Music and Worship Leaders Network

Musicians and singers are natural leaders in their local church communities and are born communicators and opinion leaders. Many of these talented musicians and songwriters are in our churches serving as willing volunteers. There is a great need for both theological and musical training to be added to much of the natural talent on display. Many of these leaders have little or no training in practical aspects of their role, such as principles for putting a service of worship together, choosing appropriate songs for congregational worship, or being culturally relevant in evangelism through music. Leaders need help discerning how to both connect with culture and yet maintain the appropriate worship of a transcendent and holy God. They need training to see how music can be foundational in bringing up the next generation of Christians.

This Music and Worship Leaders Network sets out to equip church leaders, musicians, and composers with many ways in which music can be helpful in worship, teaching, and outreach. It trains church musicians to better lead congregations to the throne in worship and to help them work more effectively with pastors and church leaders and their worship teams. It teaches how music can be used to inculcate sound doctrine and theology in Christian communities—and how to use the common ground of the performing arts in evangelism.

The desired outcome is an international community of worship leaders, musicians, songwriters, and performers that are effectively trained in their craft, underpinned by a solid doctrinal and theological understanding, well able to serve God and their local churches for the Kingdom.
