The first and foremost thing that defines me is that I am a Christ-follower. My two greatest passions in life are music and education. I am known for my infectious enthusiasm for my passions. I am a life-long learner, avid reader and effective communicator-educator. I am also a hard-working administrator who values and implements organization and systems. I am a self-starter who works well both on his own and as a team member. I believe in adding value to people and when functioning as a leader, go out of my way to ensure team members are placed where they can be the most effective contributors to the cause. My tenacity ensures that work is accomplished in both an effective and timely fashion. I am a creative person and take great interest in crafting my talents both as a musician and songwriter. I enjoy a good challenge where I can exercise my creative problem-solving skills. I am a natural, proven, responsible leader with excellent professional social skills who finds great gratification in realizing and releasing the potential in others.

Worship leaders must develop their own filters to determine and discern what music is appropriate for their worship diet and worship culture at their church.  Choosing songs merely based on preference alone, what’s “hot” on the radio or what stimulated a meaningful worship experience in your car aren’t necessarily great metrics for determining what truth to put into the mouths of worshippers on the weekend.

How To Recruit Volunteers to Your Worship Team

I’ve never met a worship leader who doesn’t desire a deep bench of skilled musicians and vocalists to serve on their team. Building any type of ministry takes a lot of hard work and is not for the faint of heart.  Over the past 20 years I’ve had the great privilege of being involved with four church plants.  Having built worship ministries from scratch, I learned many of these principles through much trial and error.
