Avoid these Top 3 Worship Planning Mistakes

Jason Hatley here – Worship Arts Pastor at The Journey Church and Founder of Worship Leader Insights

I’ll shoot straight with you . . . I don’t like it when someone tells me that I’m making a mistake.

Call it foolish pride I suppose. Can you relate?

After all, no one’s perfect and I know I make mistakes (just ask my wife and she’ll tell you all about it :-).

But, usually after I get over my bruised ego and damaged pride and I realize that the person telling me about a mistake I’m making really has my best interest at heart, my grumblings are replaced with gratitude. After all, I’ve been in ministry long enough to know that I don’t know it all and I need people to help along the way.

What if I told you that you and your worship leader are making a BIG mistake in your worship planning that was keeping you from:

  •     Creating more powerful experiences in your weekly worship service
  •     Relieving some unnecessary (and unhealthy) stress in your ministry and personal life
  •     Involving more volunteers in the creative process for planning your services
  •     Developing the kind of worship planning relationship that you would like to have with your worship leader

Even if you didn’t like me telling you that, after the initial shock wore off would you be willing to sit down with me to talk about these issues and some strategic lessons I’ve learned to overcome them in over a decade of ministry with my Lead Pastor Nelson Searcy at The Journey Church?

That’s exactly what I would like to do on the FREE Top 3 Worship Planning Mistakes webinar available TODAY and TOMORROW (Sept. 26-27, 2012).

Chances are I haven’t had the opportunity to attend your church, but after having coached over 200 churches, and taught and resourced thousands more in the last 6 years, I’ve found that there are 3 common mistakes in the worship planning process AND that most pastors and worship leaders are making at least one of them (if not all three).

Plus – I’ve made some of these same mistakes in the past, too (I told you I’m not perfect – ha!)

In this FREE 75-minute webinar, I want to help you not only identify these 3 mistakes, but I also want to give you some proven practices for how you can overcome them.

I know your time is valuable and I believe this webinar could be a HUGE help to your worship planning process. So what do you say . . . will you join me?

And will you invite your worship leader to join us as well?  What I want to share with you is for BOTH the Pastor and the Worship Leader.

There are 4 WEBINARS to choose from (and there are daytime and evening options).  As you can see, I want to give you every opportunity to be a part of this free training. Here are the dates:

Here’s what I want to talk with you about in our time together:

  •     And much more!

P.S. How do you know if this webinar is for you? Just take this quick quiz:

* Do you ever feel stress in planning your worship services?
* Do you struggle to plan worship services more than one week ahead?
* Do you feel like you are missing out on God’s best for your service because it comes together at the last minute?
* Do you ever feel under-prepared for Sunday?
* Do you feel like you would do a better job preparing for Sunday if you just had the time?

If you answered Yes to any of those questions, then this webinar is for you!

P.P.S. My new Worship Pastor Tele-Coaching network begins in less than 30 days and I would love the opportunity to personally invest in your worship leader. I recently received this personal note from a worship leader who completed the network:

“I would not be exaggerating to say that in my case this network has been life/ministry transforming. In this past year the Worship arts Department has grown more than in the last 7 years combined. This network really helped to de-stress my life and increase my effectiveness as the Worship Pastor.”

To find out how your worship leader can be a part of my NEW Tele-Coaching network that begins Friday, October 12, check out www.worshipleaderinsights.com/coaching.
