Mark Mattingly replied to Mark Culpepper's discussion 'New Contemporary Worship Service'"Mark,
I would encourage you to go to www.WorshipLeads.com. You can list all of the instrumentalists and vocalists you are looking for and other people can search and find you there. I trust this will help build your team!"
Seth Jeffery replied to Mark Culpepper's discussion 'New Contemporary Worship Service'"Hi Mark, I just signed up on the site, but I was a frequent member of the UK forum a couple of years ago. There has been some very good practical advice here, but I would like to add some advice from the non-physical side.
Based on my own experience…"
Stevo replied to Mark Culpepper's discussion 'New Contemporary Worship Service'"Yea! I could fly down in my helicopter and lead one service at 9am and then fly back up just in time for my 11:00. I just need to get the financing down on the helicopter..."
Benjamin Luce replied to Mark Culpepper's discussion 'New Contemporary Worship Service'"Lots of good advice here. Asking around some more contemporary type churches for help is a great way to go, Mark. I would be surprised if there aren't dozens of guys who'd jump at the chance to help-out. Stevo's not…"
Mark Culpepper replied to Mark Culpepper's discussion 'New Contemporary Worship Service'"Thanks Matthew"
Matthew Stahlmann replied to Mark Culpepper's discussion 'New Contemporary Worship Service'"I think one important aspect of what you are doing is to keep it real. Don't just do it for the sake of contemporary. Allow the musicians who step forward some breathing room to carve out their style. I am not the worship…"
Cory Zipperle replied to Mark Culpepper's discussion 'New Contemporary Worship Service'"You could hire a band... or see if any local churches would help you out with providing volunteers. If you're really going to have a positive effect for the Kingdom, you need to place quality that the core of your ministry... if your band…"
Elaine Rose S. Caras replied to Mark Culpepper's discussion 'New Contemporary Worship Service'"Last year, our church had to go through the same thing. We had transition from Traditional to Contemporary.
This is how we did it:
1. Planned it out, made a timeline, set deadline.
2. Asked for volunteers willing to learn to play instruments (for…"
Stevo replied to Mark Culpepper's discussion 'New Contemporary Worship Service'"How are you staying clear of copyright issues?"
Greg Moore replied to Mark Culpepper's discussion 'New Contemporary Worship Service'"I'll agree with the advice "find one good guitar player." Or a keyboard player who can keep a good rhythmic flow. The instrumentalist doesn't need to be able to sing and play at the same time -- you can use any…"
Mark Culpepper replied to Mark Culpepper's discussion 'New Contemporary Worship Service'"Thank you very much. I appreciate your advice. Our congregation so far has bought into the plan. They also voted to move the more traditional worship service earlier in the morning. My pastor is putting together a launch team that will commit to…"
Hank Hanks replied to Mark Culpepper's discussion 'New Contemporary Worship Service'"Mark, I'm going to suggest that the best first step to reaching out to younger people and opening to "non-traditional" forms of worship would be to start a Sunday evening (?), informal, home-church-type of gathering in someone's…"
Stevo replied to Mark Culpepper's discussion 'New Contemporary Worship Service'"Washboard and kazoo. Banjo bad. Guitar good."
Cory Zipperle replied to Mark Culpepper's discussion 'New Contemporary Worship Service'"Probably the most legal route to take is the iWorship DVD collection (I think that is what it is called).
I'm not 100% sure how the licensing works - so you'll have to talk to them. But I THINK that you buy the DVD and you can use…"
