Al Hilgendorf replied to Mike Tippett's discussion 'Why am I refered to as a worship leader or worship team member?'"I've had this discussion before. In fact, here is a re-post of a blog post from my website:

You've probably heard the tongue-in-cheek definition of praise and worship by now: Praise is the fast songs,…"
David Goodwin replied to Mike Tippett's discussion 'Why am I refered to as a worship leader or worship team member?'"Our church actually does use the term Music Director (which is what my role has been), but worship leader is used too - since at that moment in time, that person is the worship leader. That role then passes to other people during the course of the…"

Kevin Riner replied to Mike Tippett's discussion 'Why am I refered to as a worship leader or worship team member?'"I totally get your concern That's why I tried to give a brief history of how we actually got to the point of the title. I tell my church (which is not very big) that I am not the worship lead, I am the lead worshiper, and that we all are…"
Benjamin Luce left a comment for Mike Tippett"It does. I really like hearing about what other leaders are doing/thinking. It keeps me on my toes a little I think."

Groveland is on 120 as you head into Yosemite."
Mike Tippett replied to Mike Tippett's discussion 'Why am I refered to as a worship leader or worship team member?'"Thanks for your response, you bring up good points.

- Hey, Mike, glad to hear you had a good vacation. I'm taking a month-long break fro worship leading by heading to Africa in three days. I'll put down the guitar and pick up my mechanic's tools to repair a few vehicles for SAM Ministries in Mozambique - should be fun!
The latest song we're learning is Our Father In Heaven by Brian Doerksen. Also, Your Name by Paul Baloche has reallly caught on with all our three teams in the last two months. What are you guys working on?
