Click here to go to the EBA Community pages. An online community of spiritual growth and mission. Right now it seems like every congregation I know is putting together a band. Usually they start with a great idea and a few people who have a heart for playing alternative Christian music. Usually they suffer through painful experiences as God builds character and vision to the group.
Frustrations mount, turf wars surface, tempers flare, and patience's run short.
And that is within the band. The crucial factor in any worship band is the heart of the worship leader. I can teach almost anyone to sing or play. I cannot teach passion. You must catch it, be open to it, know that you are alive for the sole reason of living for Christ and for helping others find that same reason for life in Christ.
