What Is It?

LifeWay Worship Leadership Conference takes the guesswork out of deciding which conferences are worth your time and money. As a comprehensive worship conference that is relevant to today’s church worship needs, part of what makes this conference fresh and different each year is the valuable feedback we receive from past attendees. With a cost-effective registration fee, our Worship Leadership Conference can be tailored to fit your needs, regardless of church size or worship style. We also have break-out sessions and activities that would interest your:

  • Pastor
  • Staff
  • Worship team
  • Family
  • Children’s and student choir leaders
  • Layleaders

Take a moment and look at what 2009’s Conference has to offer. Now, your toughest decision will be which location— Ridgecrest, or Glorieta?

What Are People Saying?

Every worship service and break-out session was worth my time, my fellowship among other music ministers was so sweet, and I was blessed simply by the Spirit of Glorieta. I returned home refreshed, something I hadn't felt in a very long time.

~ Betsy Timmons
Bloomington, Minn.

 

A perfect blend of worship, learning, and fellowship time; all this, plus the bonus of being surrounded by the beauty of God's creation in the hills of the Blue Ridge Mountains . . . the many breakout sessions that were offered at the conference seemed to be tailored specifically for me! It was as if they knew the needs of our specific church and designed a class just for me . . . real-life solutions to our real-life problems such as sound and other media issues.
