One of the great benefits I recieved from being a student in the former program, The Institute of Contemporary Emerging Worship Studies (ICEWS) at St. Stephen University, is that I became a member of a fantasitic worship resource called, WorshipTeam.com.This is a web-based program that has pretty much everything a worship leader needs to build a set, enter new songs, share songs and most importantly communicate with the rest of their team and the church. And it's incredibly simple!
The program allows you to brows through thousands of songs, change the key of songs with one click, as well as hear the songs in the same chosen key... Amazing!
You can edit, revise and save songs to fit yours and your bands needs. When you create a set list you give it a title, when the set is complete you can tell your team the title of the set, they log in from home and click the set title and all the songs, chord charts and mp3's are there before them. They can then print them off and practice.
It can also come in handy on a Sunday morning as the person on PowerPoint just pulls up the program, clicks on the set title and clicks export to set-up the viewing screen -- Quick and Easy.
This program has saved me time, energy and basically from going crazy, especially on days or nights that I'm in a hurry to prepare sets and get chord charts and lyrics together.
http://www.worshipteam.com/ I encourage all lead worshippers and team members to check out this link. You can explore and research the site. It does cost money to join, but it is not at all unreasonable and if all leaders and teams feel this will work best for them, you can make a proposal to the church.
If you want a deeper look at the program I'd be happy to go through my account with you -- just let me know.
This program really has changed my life as a worship leader.
