Probably my most significant work of the past decade as a worship leader and team trainer is The Essentials In Worship Video Series for Worship Teams.
I brought everything I’ve ever learned about worship leadership and team dynamics over 20 years, together with insights from friends like Matt Redman, Kathryn Scott, and many others, and put them into this turn-key, 6 topic video course for all worship leaders and teams in local churches.
It is designed to be highly accessible to every team and leader, and is perfect for training any local church’s worship leaders and teams in a quick, easy, practical – yet deep way.
What Is The Essentials In Worship Video Training Series?
This Series is a team training video program designed to equip all your worship leaders (main session, small group, youth), worship musicians, and ministry members in core ideas and skills related to worship. You can do each session in a group, or everyone can do it on their own.
Drawing from over 20+ years of worship leading experience, and bringing together wisdom from some of today’s most respected worship leaders (see below), Essentials is designed to be the complete training solution for any worship team.
Train your leaders and team(s) in:
- Worship Leading (character, skills, sets, and bands)
- Worship Ministry (leadership, 9 roles, 4 relationships, tools)
- Worship Songwriting (from your idea to your song)

Dan is leading us in this formation.” Jeremy Riddle (Jesus Culture, Sweetly Broken)
