We have more great worship music today than in the history of the church. We have better technology in our churches than ever before. We have more apps and tools to enhance our worship experience, but less people are actually participating. How is that possible? It’s an epidemic that must change. So I wanted to share with you some steps we are taking at Stevens Creek Church to convert worship watchers to worship singers.
At Stevens Creek Church, I (along with my staff and many volunteers) oversee the entire “experience.” That includes everything from what you feel as you drive onto the property to the elements you see as you sit in the service. There are so many churches out there on the brink of having great experiences, but for one reason or another, they can’t seem to get over the hump. I want to share 5 things that if you can incorporate into your planning, you will see an immediate return on your efforts.
At Stevens Creek we believe that creating a great experience is much more than just what happens on the stage. Of course the service is very important, but if people have a bad experience in the parking lot or checking in their kids, it makes the job of the people on stage much more difficult.
Over the past 22 years, I have planned over a thousand worship services at Stevens Creek Church. That is a lot of services! When you are planning services week after week, you can very easily lose sight of what you’re trying to accomplish unless you have something to keep you on track. So I wanted to share three questions I use to stay focused on creating incredible worship experiences.
