Equipping

The teaching offered is designed to equip worship teams, worship-leaders, choirs and pastors with biblical insights that focus on the Ministry of Music, and its impact on the local church.

Pursuing Excellence In Ministry: Giving God What He Deserves
This teaching is what Michael enjoys speaking on at the annual, See His Glory Worship & Music Ministry Conference. Michael draws from the Word of God and life experiences to underscore the importance of serving God and others with a spirit of excellence. This teaching is now available on CD!

Defining Praise and Worship: A Greek and Hebrew Study
This study examines how the words, "praise" and "worship" are defined in the Bible. You will be enriched as you discover the vast meanings of these words, and be drawn into His presence in a fresh new way.
 
Expressions of Praise and Worship
There are many ways to express praise and worship to our God. Learning to use your voice and body is a wonderful way to show the Lord how much you love and adore Him.

Building a Solid Worship Team and Choir: Laying the Foundation
Having a "solid" foundation is essential for building a ministry! This teaching will help you learn the fundamentals of forming your worship team and choir, and be prepared for effective ministry that honors God.

The Ministry of the Worship Team and Choir
An effective Worship Team must have certain criteria for doing ministry in the house of the Lord. This teaching explores the necessary requirements, spiritual disciplines, and purpose of serving on the team.  

Corporate Worship: Encountering the Presence of God
Often times, congregations struggle with how to engage in corporate worship. This insightful teaching will help the worshiping church identify and remove hindrances, and experience the presence of God in a rich and meaningful way.

The Role of the Worship Leader
Worship leaders have the responsibility of leading worship, communicating with the band and congregation all at the same time. You will learn what it takes to recruit people, work with a worship-set, lead Spirit-led worship, and the essentials for nurturing your team.

Prophetic Worship: Hearing and Releasing the Sound of Heaven
As worship leaders and music ministers, we spend hours learning new material, conducting rehearsals and preparing our worship teams and choirs to minister each Sunday. However, our planning may not include God’s agenda for the service! Learn how to hear the voice of God as a psalmist and release the prophetic song God gives you.

Songwriting
If you have a desire to write songs that glorify the Lord and uplift His people, this is for you! You will learn about song-structure, how to craft your songs using the Bible, personal experiences, and prayer. Using songwriting aids are incorporated into this study.

Sanctuary Sound: The Fundamentals Of Audio
Quality sound doesn't just happen. The goal of the sound engineer is to produce sound that is intelligible and comfortable to the listening audience. Learn how to mix vocals and instruments, conduct sound-checks, handle microphone feedback, and use signal processing devices to enhance your sound system.

Discovering Your Call
Have you ever asked yourself, "What is my purpose, what does it look like?" In this study, you will learn timeless biblical principles for discovering the call of God on your life. You will also learn the various ways God speaks to His people, and how to identify His voice in everyday living. Once you know your calling, you will be ready to develop your vision and mission statement.

"In this way we are like the various parts of a human body. Each part gets its meaning from the body as a whole, not the other way around. The body we're talking about is Christ's body of chosen people. Each of us finds our meaning and function as a part of his body. But as a chopped-off finger or cut-off toe we wouldn't amount to much, would we? So since we find ourselves fashioned into all these excellently formed and marvelously functioning parts in Christ's body, let's just go ahead and be what we were made to be, without enviously or pridefully comparing ourselves with each other, or trying to be something we aren't." 
Romans  4:4, 5 (Message Bible)

The Move Of God: What Is God Doing In Your Church?
The Lord is speaking through pastors and church leaders as they spend time in prayer and the Word of God on your behalf. The question is, are you capturing what the Lord is saying or are you relegating it to the church down the street or across town? This motivational message will help you cultivate the proper attitude towards the prophetic Word God is speaking, and encourage you to walk in the vision of the house.
