2014 Workshop — Shaping Your Musical Identity

Everywhere we look we find enormous, talented worship bands with top notch musicians, live albums and concert tours.  God is using these bands in wonderful ways but we can be left feeling daunted, under qualified and discouraged with our weekly Sunday morning worship.  This is why it’s important to not just follow the trends but find how God desires to use you locally.  We will discuss how Song Selection, Song Style and Songwriting can help shape your church’s musical identity.
