Intensive A: What Color is Your TEAM?
Intensive Facilitator: Bill Zipp Doxology, Corvallis Teams are all the rage today. There are worship teams, leadership teams, ministry teams, and pastoral teams. But the sad reality is that most church teams are a team in name only, not a fully functioning small group. This pre-workshop intensive examines the dynamics of effective teamwork from a biblical/organizational perspective and offers strategic insight into the actual composition of your team. Everyone in attendance will receive a free TEAM assessment and will discover practical, real-world solutions for both team members and team leaders to unleashing the true power of team ministry top
Intensive B: Building a Values-Based Ministry
Intensive Facilitator: Chris Voigt Dayspring Fellowship, Keizer Board Member, Worship Northwest Whether you realize it or not, your ministry is built on your values. But is it built on the values you want? What you believe about God, what you understand about people, your specific gifts and talents all combine to shape the look of your ministry. Unfortunately, most of us never take the time to analyze our values and build a ministry with intentionality. The result: a loss of effectiveness and focus. This session will show the relation between values and outcomes, and help you identify some of your core values and build a ministry to match. top
Intensive C: Amped Up Rehearsals!
Intensive Facilitator: David Hastings David Hastings Studios, Salem Wanna get more done in rehearsals? Get more learned in less time? Tired of the feeling there is constantly too much to rehearse? What if you could turn up the juice on your rehearsals and get 30% more done in the same amount of time? David has rehearsed more than 5000 worship services and hundreds of major events of every kind over the course of his career. He has some keen insights about getting the most out of his rehearsal minutes. Whether standing in front of a worship band, a pit orchestra, a full symphony, or a 700-voice choir, his rehearsals all draw on similar techniques for getting the most out of those precious preparation minutes. Amped Up Rehearsals! came out of David's desire to help people put the "play" back in their music. You can begin to transform your rehearsals, as you learn to: Shorten your rehearsals to make them more effective Engage every musicians in every note of every rehearsal Use physical involvement rather than a metronome to get a tight sound. Use visual images to communicate complex musical theory in seconds. Fix musical problems rather than just rehearse them. Encourage musicians to grow by putting the play back in rehearsals Enhance relationships AND creativity with a risk friendly environment. Amped Up Rehearsals! is full of simple tools designed to turn up the creativity and effectiveness of your rehearsals. The end result is that your team will feel more confident and prepared than ever, freeing them to be more transparent and authentic in their worship leading. top
