Tuning Strings...

Relationships like the strings on an instrument, need to be tuned to be in harmony.

Worship vs. Performance Before serving as the Musical Director of The Crossing Christian Church in Las Vegas, Nevada, Michelle was a professional singer, musician and entertainer on a secular world-wide circuit for over 17 years. Several years ago, God led her into full time ministry, and she gave up her professional career to serve the Church. Her passion as a worship leader is to lead people into a deeper experience with God, and to draw them closer in their walk with Him. Michelle is able to share valuable insight about her private journey from being on stage for acclaim, to wanting to be totally invisible in the higher calling of worship. She also passionately shares about the differences between performance, overcoming the obstacles of being on a stage, and truly entering and leading others into the presence of God. You’ll be inspired by her testimony from her secular music career to her transformation into leading authentic worship.

The Peripheral Worship Leader Presented from the perspective of someone who daily experiences the joys and challenges of a full-time worship position, this class speaks to many practical, philosophical, and theological aspects of bringing a quality worship offering…while equipping the congregation to maintain their focus on the Lord. We’ll discuss the needs of the worshiper, the process, song selection, playing songs with wide ranges in singable keys, inspiring musical quality among team members, transitions during the worship set, and we’ll conclude with an illustration of the worship experience through the Tabernacle of Moses. For all musicians who love to worship our Savior, and who consider themselves works in progress.

An App for That There is - Music Software on the Go Join Yoda as we explore some of the amazing software apps available for the productions and manipulation of music on mobile devices. We will look at apps that allow you to create, record and play music on your mobile device as well as apps that allow you to interact with your “real’ musical instruments.

AUDIO TECHNOLOGY John Hood Building Your Sound System as Your Church Grows QSC, The Farm The largest houses of worship weren’t always large. Most had humble origins in AV storefronts or high school gymnasiums. The growth of their ministries required vision and good stewardship of limited resources.

But how can a fledging congregation make the right choices? Is there a way to acquire a sound system that’s right for our current, smaller services but that can also be integrated into a larger system as our congregation and ministry grow? Learn how to start small and build your sound system as your church grows.

Child Fund currently serves children in

30 countries. When you count all of the

places we’ve worked in the 75 years since

our 1938 founding, we’ve touched lives in nearly 100 nations across Africa, the Americas, Asia, and Europe.

After our beginnings as China’s Children Fund, the world knew us for decades as

Christian Children’s Fund. ChildFund is

still that organization, and you can still sponsor a child!

The original idea from 1938 was simple:

create a connection between individuals

who want to give, and individual children in need. Since then, we have evolved into

community development, still maintaining the individual sponsor-to-child connection but also improving environments in the sponsored child communities.

Reach out.

Save a life!
