Worship Resources

Worship leaders, including pastors and music ministers, have one of the greatest callings placed upon their lives, that of being worship planners. This is both an honor and at the same time a daunting task. After all, they are called by God for a specific purpose, to bring His people into the throne room and engage them in authentic, God-honoring worship. What an honor to be called! ... yet what a difficult task to lead a multitude of people with so many differences! In order to take advantage of the many worship resources available on the internet, from sermon helps to worship music and everything in between, read the reviews of many of the top sites. They are all designed to help plan Christian worship services in many styles, including contemporary, traditional, blended, convergent, emerging, and genX. God deserves our best efforts and He expects us to be good stewards of His gifts. May you find this site helpful in finding good worship planning aids as you and I seek to serve Him.
