Worship Seminars

After providing vocal seminars in churches for over a decade an obvious training gap began to present itself in terms of what we offer at Djarts – vocalists don’t work alone in churches; there are the singers, the musicians, the sound engineers and the helpers that comprise a church worship team. Practical training in singing is only part of the picture for the church worship team; there are two other areas of development that are essential. One is an understanding of the nature of worship, the role of musicians and singers in worship, and both individual and team development as Christian artists. The second is practical skills development as a whole team and the capacity to work together in presenting worship music, both existing and new material. These two areas are critical to the very nature of a worship teams’ role within a church, but in the week to week schedule of rehearsal and church service presentation the opportunity to stop, reflect and target specific areas of need often eludes the average worship team and their leader.

SEMINAR SESSIONS

Seminars are custom built for each worship team by selecting the desired focus from a range of possible sessions, each with a flexible duration:

• Why we do what we do! A practical history & theology of Christian Worship.
• Heart of the Christian Artist
• Reflection in Worship
• Workshop—Existing Worship Material
• Workshop—New Worship Material
• Other – Djarts will purpose build material to your request!

Dr Dan and the Djarts team work closely with seminar organizers to ensure they select the modules most important for their worship team at the time and build these together across the specific time frame.

LEARNING MATERIALS

Dr Dan’s extensive research into Christian worship has resulted in his authoring a range of teaching materials for today’s worship teams. The following worksheets collate into a comprehensive manual and overview of Christian worship:

• Defining Christian Worship (8 pages)
• Developmental History of Christian Worship 1 (16 pages)
• Developmental History of Christian Worship 2 (21 pages)
• Today’s Worship Constructs (18 pages)
• Designing Worship with Positive Tensions (13 pages)
• Baptism and the Lord’s Supper (11 pages)
• Music in Christian Worship (15 pages)
• Leading Christian Worship (14 pages)

FLEXIBILITY

Seminars can be conducted over:

Full Day, Half Day or Two (2) hour instructional session.

It’s totally up to you – the seminar organizer. We understand that the weekly program and yearly schedule of church events often makes it difficult to find time for extended training specifically for a worship team, so flexibility and tailoring to the needs of the individual group are qualities we pride ourselves on.
