Keys to Worship Planning: Building a System

“Building your worship planning system is a little like building a house. Your preaching calendar lays the foundation. Your message series time lines and specific Sunday time lines frame up the walls. Your message run-through, creative element integration, and active engagement with your pastor/worship pastor are the Sheetrock.

But something has to solidify the structure; something has to ensure that it is protected from the elements and grows more livable with each passing year. Evaluation acts as the mortar that holds together everything you have built.”

– Nelson Searcy and Jason Hatley
