Practicing Skills for Alternative/Emerging Worship
During this five-day cluster of workshops participants will actively engage in writing, developing, leading and creating worship expressions inherent in current, alternative worship design. Pastors, worship leaders, and educators will find that the experiential style of these workshops provides them guidance, while they practice and prepare materials for use in planning and designing worship in their home settings. You may register for all or for part of the five-day cluster listed below. Discounted registration for the full five days: $550 (includes meals designated in each day’s description.)
