Great Worship Leaders


Attitudes, Values and Skills
What Is ‘Greatness’?
• Greatness is the attaining of a level of quality in a person that is
marked by invisible authority with visible evidence. Greatness
means that attitudes, values and skills have been acquired over
time and with intention – and are being used to serve others.

• The greatest among us, according to Jesus, is the one who has
has become like a child – willing to learn, expectant and
hopeful, infused with humility and empowered by trust.

• Greatness in worship leadership is the attainable pursuit of


quality in attitudes, values and skills of worship leadership, in
heart and in practice.

Equippers

insecurity while becoming an older brother or sister, father or
mother to others.

Pastoral
• Great worship leaders have a wider skillset than simply
playing an instrument, leading worship, or arranging a band.

• Great worship leaders care for their teams, and effectively


‘pastor’ their communities into places of living self-offering
before God – in gathered worship settings and in life.

• Great worship leaders know when to ask someone to


join a team, because their hearts are ‘right,’ and how to ask
someone to take a break because they’ve lost sight of serving.

Great Worship Leaders Are...
Proficient
• Great worship leaders have acquired an ability on their
instrument, and/or as a worship leader that invites fluidity,
engagement and musicality into a worship experience.

• Great worship leaders can handle the diverse musical/


worship leadership needs of their community, by practice and
experience.

• Great worship leaders can lead a band with confidence.


They have learned the art of intuiting a group’s musical
capabilities quickly – and then making adjustments with grace.

Servants
• Great worship leaders understand what mutual
submission is all about. They recognize the mantle of leadership
on others, and defer as needed in events or community life.

• Great worship leaders know how to honor time limits,


ask teachable questions, and share the primary leaders’ vision
for the community being led in worship.

• Great worship leaders do not push their way into


worship leading or other roles – they offer their gifts and then
allow God to make a place for them.

Passionate
• Great worship leaders recognize that passion always
leads, and seek their own spiritual formation as they encourage
the spiritual formation of those around them.

• Great worship leaders understand this secret – that


cultivating an interior worship life with God completely alters
and enhances their public life of worship leadership.

• Great worship leaders know the balance between passion


and restraint; cutting loose in one moment and pulling back in
another to serve a greater purpose. They see emotion as a
servant.
