Equipping worship leaders to thrive as they work from strong spiritual, practical, and relational foundations

The Online community for Worship Leaders

HELPING YOU GROW, AVOID BURNOUT, AND CREATE HEALTHIER TEAMS

Join Overflow Worship Leaders Online for $19 Today→

Whether you’re entering into a new season as a worship leader—or your church is transitioning worship styles altogether—creating a firm foundation on which to build a thriving, healthy, effective worship ministry team is no small task …


… what’s more? 

THERE AREN’T MANY PEOPLE OUT THERE

DISCUSSING THE PRACTICALITIES OF DOING JUST THAT.

And when the average church isn’t a congregation of thousands with multiple campuses and a deep bench of paid staff … the resources to lead yourself, your team, and your ministry well might be harder to come by.


But what’s worse?

The crippling fear of mishandling the ministry that’s been entrusted to you—and letting your church, your leaders, and yourself down


The constant pressure to perform well—not only as a musician, but as a leader and Jesus follower, too


The running list of issues you don’t know how to handle—and the swirling thoughts of “my past experiences didn’t prepare me for this”

AS A WORSHIP LEADER, A MINISTRY LEADER—AND JUST AS A HUMAN

—IT’S OKAY TO NEED A LITTLE HELP.

YOU JUST MIGHT NEED:

MEMBER BENEFITS

Practical and wholistic worship leader trainings for every aspect of running a worship ministry- Spiritual development, leadership trainings, tech team resources , and instrument specific tutorials. 

Through our exclusive online community we will connect you not only with one another, but also with church leadership experts, professional musicians, and fellow worship leaders as they share their expertise, personal growth stories, and their best advice to thrive in ministry for the long term. 

Member-only, topic-focused trainings  will give you worship ministry specific strategies to build a strong foundation and help you make progress towards your goals. 

Aside from their own past experiences, most worship leaders have minimal practical training in how to organize, run, and effectively lead a worship team

(BUT that doesn’t mean they CAN’T)

THERE’S SO MUCH MORE THAT GOES INTO A WORSHIP MINISTRY THAN SET LISTS, MUSICIANS, AND A MOOD-SETTING TECH SETUP OF LIGHTS, SOUND, & SCREENS …

You may be an incredible musician or a gifted shepherd of people, but the fact is, a worship ministry demands multi-faceted leadership unlike any other part of the church.

YOU NEED:

The administrative capability to organize, schedule, and lead productive rehearsals with efficiency.

The creativity and musicianship to plan a weekly set list and develop transitions between songs and service segments.

Lasting patience, grace, and God-given intuition as you lead a group of people who each have their own complex needs, experiences, and expectations.

Self-leadership and collaboration as you come alongside the other leaders within your church to develop and support overall ministry goals for your congregation.

Training that prepares you to pivot as you build a team of volunteers to form your band and deal with the juggling act of replacements for illness, vacations, lack of commitment, etc.

With *That* List Of Demands...

Unfortunately, it’s totally normal to be overwhelmed by everything your ministry seemingly neeDS from you

Google “ministry burnout” and you’ll get 3.5 million search results.

A recent study shows stats from pastors aren’t any better either:

38%

say they’ve considered leaving ministry altogether

90%

report working 55 to 70 hours per week

50%

report feeling unable to meet the demands of their jobs

GET STARTED NOW!

But what if you could lead from the overflow instead of the overwhelm… 

What if you had the resources you needed to complement your natural gifting, and you felt supported to not only do your job well but thrive in your ministry career?

Frequently Asked Questions

    MODULE 1 | THE SPIRITUAL FOUNDATION

        Start with an assessment to discern where you are now in your spiritual walk and where you want to be—a month from now, a year from now, and beyond.

        • Journey through a series of questions that will help you discover your “why”… and more.
        • Locate Your Wells … where are you being fed, and who is drawing from your well—how you can ensure both are being maintained well.
        • Implement tools and accountability for staying in communion with God as you serve in your ministry role.

    MODULE 2 | THE LEADERSHIP FOUNDATION

        Next, we’ll assess your current leadership skills to discover where you’re doing well and where you might be able to make improvements. 

        • Build a supportive team by learning how to delegate tasks and responsibilities to cultivate a community of helpfulness and “pitching in” within the full scope of your ministry. 
        • Implement practices for longevity & health in leadership so you can thrive for the long haul. 

    MODULE 3 | THE STRATEGIC FOUNDATION

        Next, we’ll evaluate your personal mission, vision, & values for your ministry and how they align and support the mission, vision, and values of your church. 


        • Establish your team’s why—and formulate a plan to effectively communicate it to all of your volunteers.
        • Adopt strategies for effective communication between your Senior Pastor and other leadership from day one, and learn how to foster the same healthy relationships within your team.
        • Implement weekly planning practices to prevent bottlenecks, burnout, and confusion. 

    MODULE 4 | THE ADMINISTRATIVE FOUNDATION

        Next, we’ll look at your current church practices to determine the best ways to support your church’s  ministry goals. 

        • Establish a 90-day review to check in on your goals and progress. 
        • Implement an inventory and assessment practice within your team of volunteers & paid staff to ensure you have the right “who” and “what” in place for your ministry goals.

    MODULE 5 | THE SKILLS FOUNDATION

        As the leader of the team, we’ll ensure you’re not only aware of your strengths and opportunities for improvement as a musician, but have a plan of action for continued growth.

        • Establish your rhythms of musical & technical preparation to remain a lifelong learner & good leader—plus what tasks to keep on your plate, and what to delegate.
        • Adopt strategies for effective team preparation, including what is and is not your responsibility as the worship leader. 

    MODULE 6 | BUILDING ON YOUR FOUNDATION

        Now it’s time to apply everything you’ve learned and watch (and lead) as your ministry thrives …

        • Prepare your systems & instruments for optimal performance.
        • Establish your tools for efficiency and agility among your team, especially when time is of the essence.
        • Invest in your personnel (staff & volunteers) to ensure ministry alignment & open communication.

Is OVERFLOW WORSHIP LEADERS ONLINE right for you & your ministry?

Here's How To Know:

You love worship & you’ve got musical talent—but some days you feel like you were “handed the keys” without the training, tools, & resources to be an effective leader of your worship ministry … so you’re often stressed and worried about letting your team, your leaders, and your church down. 

Or maybe … you have ministry education, but you’re realizing most of it was not practical training—you need the step-by-step processes for things like scheduling your team, running a rehearsal, building a setlist in collaboration with your teaching pastor, and more. 

You find yourself guilty of a little too much time spent trying to figure things out on your own. You wonder what part of your job (or personal life) could have more of your attention if you didn’t have to do so much “research.”

You watch as other ministry leaders thrive and grow incredible teams, and you find yourself wondering if it’s a YOU problem, or if they just know something you don’t. You’re ready to escape that self-doubt & partner with God to become the best leader you can be in the role He’s entrusted you with.

You believe God’s got you and has you in this role for a reason—but you don’t want to be a bottleneck in the process, so you’re committed to doing everything you can to become the less-stressed, more-prepared, and more-available leader you know you can be.

Frequently Asked Questions

OVERFLOW WORSHIP LEADERS ONLINE

Frequently Asked Questions

    IS OVERFLOW WORSHIP LEADERS ONLINE ONLY FOR NEW WORSHIP LEADERS?

        It was created with new worship leaders in mind—however, it’s a perfect resource for anyone new to worship ministry, new to their current role, or a worship leader serving a church that is going through a significant change or major culture shift.

    HOW MUCH IS MEMBERSHIP?

        Our best value is our yearly membership plan for 199.99 per year. It includes all of our content plus exclusive bonuses and discounts available only to our annual members, adding up to more than the cost of the membership itself! Alternatively, you can pay 19.99 per month if you prefer to pay as you go!

    HOW IS THIS DIFFERENT THAN OTHER WORSHIP MEMBERSHIPS?

        Great question—it’s almost entirely different. We trust that you have a foundational knowledge of leading ministry, but we also know that oftentimes seminary or ministry training programs focus less on the practical aspects of ministry leadership, and that’s where we come in. We pick up where your training (even if it was some piano lessons back in high school) left off.

    I'M SO BUSY, WHAT IF I DON'T HAVE TIME?

        Our streaming content is self-paced, so there’s no syllabus of deadlines. And while attending our live trainings in person is most beneficial, they are saved so you can view them later.

    THIS COMMUNITY THING - IS IT REALLY THAT MUCH DIFFERENT THAN A FACEBOOK GROUP?

        YES - it most certainly is! Our developers have customized this platform for our members. We have the ability to facilitate custom discussions, create small groups (can somebody say small group Bible study with your new friends?) and give you the space chat back and forth with our experts AND other worship leaders who just get it.

    WHAT IF THIS ISN'T RIGHT FOR ME? DO YOU OFFER REFUNDS?

        We want to be good stewards of your investment, so yes, we do. You get immediate full access to the entire membership when you purchase, and then a 7-day period to check out everything inside. Once you take a look around, if you find it’s not what you need, contact our team for a full refund.

    WHAT IF I HAVE MORE QUESTIONS?

        We’re here to be a resource for you—reach out to us at info@overflowworship.com and we’ll get back to you asap!

Being a ministry leader is a calling & an honor—but that doesn’t mean you have to face your struggles alone without the tools you need to succeed & thrive

At Overflow Worship, it’s our mission to ensure ministry leaders are set up 

for fulfilling, impactful ministry leadership roles with longevity. 


Burnout is real—and we consider it our calling to serve & minister to leaders to prevent things like self-doubt, exhaustion, and turnover that have become so normal in church life.

As a new ministry leader or one just embarking on a new role or a worship-style change, we want to make sure you are equipped and encouraged for the road ahead. That’s why we created this course. We’re expectant

of all that God is doing in and through you and your ministry, and we want to see you thrive. 


Our hope is that the Overflow Worship Leaders Online Community will provide you with the practical training and resources you need to lay a strong foundation for an exceptional and thriving worship ministry.
