1. Areas of ownership versus collaborative ownership
2. Compartmentalizing worship in song and preaching.
3. Team mentality versus a church and family mentality
4. Diminishing appreciation and value for the weekend service as a whole
So what is the solution?
Recommended Resources:
Here are some tools and resources that may be helpful to you as you pursue bridging the gap.
- The Worship Initiative – My friends Shane and Shane have done a tremendous job modeling how the Word and Song are meant to work cohesively together
- Planning Center Online – I’ve had the opportunity to work with these guys in the past. Not only do they have a genuine love for the church, they have the best planning solution for your church service and various ministries.
- The Church Collective – Recently I did a podcast interview with them. Ryan and Brian are awesome. They love the church and want to provide resources that will be a blessing to local churches
- Logos Bible Software – Shameless plug here. Honestly, both the Worship Leader and Teaching Pastor need to be serious students of the Word. This will enable you to have conversations that are rooted in Biblical truth and not merely opinion.
