As a part of my Online Worship Leadership Training Course, I teach on Planning Effective Corporate Worship that Flows. Below is part of the content from that session. I draw important parallels between baking a cake and planning worship. Love to hear your thoughts. Thanks! – Dwayne
1. Choose the right ingredients. The ingredients depend on the kind of cake we plan to bake. For example, if we want to bake a chocolate cake, we will obviously need some cocoa or other chocolate ingredients. And if we want a coconut cake, our recipe probably wouldn’t call for carrots - at least I would hope not! Likewise, as we sit down to plan a worship service, we need to carefully consider what ingredients or elements are actually needed in that service. What is the theme of that particular service? Is there a special emphasis that day? Is the gathering targeted toward lost and unchurched people? Also, what creative elements might we utilize to enhance the service, such as videos, testimonies, prayer stations, or choir “specials”?
2 Sift and whip. The ingredients used for baking often need to be sifted or whipped before they can be added. Our responsibility as worship planners is to “sift out” unnecessary – and potentially distracting – moments within a service. For instance, do we really need to introduce the person or group doing the “special music”? Is it absolutely necessary to explain or “set-up” a particular song before we sing it? (See Freedom NOT to Announce Every Song) Could the praise band exit the stage during a prayer or meditative acapella song (while people’s eyes are closed) to keep down distractions? Read more…

We would appreciate the prayers from you, our faithful readers, as we travel to Columbus, OH for our Next Level Worship Conference Saturday (July 11) at Jersey Baptist Church in Pataskala.
We have several churches from across Ohio and other states who will be atending. We will also have at least 5 different denominations represented at the conference. This will truly be a multi-denominational and multi-racial worship conference. We are going to have a blast learning what “next level worship” is and how we can be — and remain — next level worshipers for life!
Thanks so much for your prayers and encouragement! – Dwayne

Our very first Next Level Worship Conference in Deridder, LA went incredibly well! We had close to 120 people who attended, representing several local area churches. We received the letter below from Frank Nihart, who is the worship pastor who hosted our first Next Level Worship Conference. It is clear from this letter that he was very satisfied with the results of the conference.
Dear Dwayne,
Let me say again how well our people and the surrounding area churches responded to the Next Level Worship Conference. To many, it was a day of new insight on the subject of worship and praise. It is my opinion that most Christians don’t realize how dominant and daily worship should be in our lives. Similarly, choir members, praise team members, pastors and even worship leaders could all benefit from your teaching about being “ministers ‘through’ music.”
The large group worship/teaching times you led were, to quote one attendee: “able to meet all our needs.” They went on to say they were inspired to serve more readily and better recognized their calling as a worship leader.
The small group sessions were effective to the point that great teaching was done in a compacted schedule. These sessions informed the attendees and whetted their appetites to pursue greater skill and knowledge in the various subject/ministry areas.
Your preparation was truly professional. You were keenly concerned about relating the truths of the scripture to “our” conferees. Your leadership and conscientiousness about “timing” and schedule were much appreciated.
May God bless you in your commitment to serve Him.Frank Nihart

Hey everyone!
Just a quick note to let you know where we are this week. We are at the InnovateChurch Conference in Lynchburg, VA with a thousand pastors! It’s been a fabulous week of encouragement and challenge thus far. Rick Warren, Chuck Colson, Jim Cymbala and Jonathan Falwell are among the featured speakers. My dear friend, Charles Billingsley, is leading the praise times and teaching some workshops on worship.
The conference graciously featured a sample of our book, Pure Praise, in every conference folder! So we’ve been able to share about the study with a lot of the folks up here. Charles has also recommended it to the worship leaders here at the conference, which I greatly appreciate!
Hope you are doing well! Please drop us a note to catch us up with what God is doing in your ministry and life. We’d love to hear from you! We are blessed with so many wonderful friends, and hearing from people in the family of faith is always encouraging!
Blessings,
Dwayne
