Preparation & Usage

'7 Weeks to a Transformed Worship Team'
delivers EXACTLY what it promises - a transformational heart check for any Worship Team that's serious about its calling to lead others in glorious worship of our King.

*Your WHOLE TEAM for HALF the cost of sending ONE PERSON to a big-city seminar!
*Up to $50 Discounts for early registry - See our Dropdown Menu for Dates.

This 7-part LIVE Webinar Series (followed by Q&A session) Equips teams of all sizes to successfully overcome the day-to-day problems that nearly every worship ministry faces... and helps leadership address the administrative & cultural issues with Team Management Principles that are not studied in Bible School - ALL straight from the Word of God.

Our core teaching for this series is The 7 Biblical Stewardships of Worship Ministry. EVERYTHING that a team struggles with is either because a) one or more of these 'stewardships' is not being managed, or b) they have not taken root in the hearts of the team members.

*NOTE: MWM hosts this 7-week Series LIVE every 2 months (the odd months). When you purchase, you will be able to choose a future date from the dropdown menu - often at a discount for 'early registry.' This enables you (and your team) to plan ahead!

This study will address and biblically equip leaders & members for the following topics:

*Team Conflict *Lack of Communication *Purposeful Decision-Making *Stage Presence/Etiquette *Respect for Authority *Legitimate vs. Illegitimate Team Leaders *How to Pick Worship Songs *Who determines music style (ending the worship wars) *Soundman Issues *Budgeting for your Mission *The Discipline of Equipment Maintenance *Excellence vs. Perfectionism vs. Laziness *What Satan wants from you *Establishing a Dress Code *Qualifying Standards for Team Membership *The Worship Ministry Covenant *EZ but transformational Arrangement Techniques *Short on talent? *Playing Tentatively vs. Confidently *Becoming Legally Compliant *Showing up Prepared & On-time, EVERY time *Organizing your Music *Mission: Self? or Sacrifice? *Making room for New, more Talented Members *When to Fire Substandard Members *Eliminating Sound & Performance Distractions... and MORE!

*NOTE: This is NOT a theological study. We respect the worship practices & theology of each church to whom we are privileged to minister. This study deals with issues of the heart, motivations, behavior, dedication, organization, leadership, management, standards, & techniques - and ALL taught directly from the Word of God!

About Log-in & Passcode
1. A few days to a week prior to the start of the particular Webinar Series you purchased, you will receive an email containing instructions on how to set up a Log-in account with the Webinar provider. You can set up your Passcode at that time. SAVE THIS! Michael Warner Ministries does not have access to your account held with the Webinar provider.
2. Your Log-in and Passcode will remain valid through the duration of that Webinar Series (7 weeks) PLUS an extra 1^1/2 to 2 weeks of Viewing and Re-viewing time at the end of your Subscription (for example, a 7 week series beginning the first week of May will remain accessible through the 1st week of July, for a total of 2 months). This enables Viewing and Re-Viewing of the archives of that particular Series until it closes.
3. If you've purchased for a future date, and your email should change or become inactive before that Series begins, you will need to contact the Webinar provider personally to obtain a new Log-in/Passcode. MWM is unable to facilitate that transaction for you.
4. The spirit of team pricing is to encourage your entire Worship Team to go through the training Webinars - together. But for those not in attendance, your church's Log-in and Passcode will work for ALL your members to a) watch the LIVE webinar & participate in Q&A simultaneously from another location, or b) view the recorded webinar(s) at their convenience. Each member can use the same Log-in & Passcode. If you're the organizer, be reminded to email it to everyone!
Q - What happens if I want to buy in to a Webinar Series mid-run (a few weeks after it has started)?

A - NO PROBLEM! Because we archive the Webinars in that Series, you may "catch up" at your convenience. We DO NOT recommend viewing the Sessions out of order! They build upon each other. Please start from the beginning, and work your way up sequentially. Also note that your Log-in & Passcode will only be valid 2 months from the start date of that particular Series. So set aside the time to make sure you get them all in before that date!
Webinar Times, Details & Availability
1. MWM begins its LIVE Webinar Series' on the Wednesday of the First Week of the odd months of the year (January, March, May, July, September). MWM does not hold a 7-Week Series November through December.
2. From our Dropdown Menu, you can purchase future airing times for our Series. The advantages of 'BUYING NOW' for future dates is that they are typically Di$counted, AND you & your team can plan ahead!
3. Eastern & Central Time Zones: Each of the 7 Webinars in the Series is held LIVE on Wednesday evenings, 7:30 EST, and runs for approx. 1 hour (until approx. 8:30 EST). A 1-hour Q&A session will follow (until approx. 9:30 EST), where you may submit questions by phone, email, or eChat. Michael will give instructions concerning how best to submit questions.
4. Mountain & Pacific Time Zones: Because each Webinar is held LIVE at 7:30 on the East Coast, you will have to view the Teaching portion of that Webinar as it was recorded, earlier. However, Michael will rejoin you at the conclusion of that Webinar, for a LIVE 1-hour Q&A session - on your time schedule! At that time, you may submit questions by phone, email, or eChat. Michael will give instructions concerning how best to submit questions. *NOTE: To keep everything in Sync, you should begin viewing the recorded Webinar at exactly 7:30 MST, without exception.
Downloadable Materials
1. For your convenience, each Webinar will have an accompanying Lesson Sheet - for following along, filling in blanks, and keeping as a resource. Each week, you will receive a reminder email a few days prior to the Webinar. Attached to that email will be the Lesson Plan. Please print it out & make enough copies for your team.
2. Don't procrastinate! Download and print it early. If there is a problem, and you waited until the day of the seminar to find that out, we may not be available to assist you on the spot.
3. If you do experience problems, it is best to Email: Michael@MichaelWarnerMinistries.com from the mailbox you want the attachments sent to. DO NOT call unless it becomes absolutely necessary! With an email, we can simply hit the reply button & quick attach the file for you. We also won't have to play phone tag! Thank you.

Preparing the Heart

Moral Conviction - To make a convincing appeal to your leadership or team that this series is a necessary step in the life & future of your Worship Team, you must first have the Moral Conviction that your team has issues that are not God honoring. Those issues may even be hindering your ability to fulfill your team's Mission in worship. They may even be hindering your prayers. Are there practices/attitudes/behaviors that your team needs to repent of?
This is Serious - This isn't something you just start, and finish if it's convenient. You need to understand this is a serious Worship Team discipleship program. If the Mission of worship is important (it's why God created us!), we should apply ourselves seriously to the privilege God has set before us.
Check your Paradigms at the Door - Not to insult you... but you (like many) are probably the product of YEARS of bad habits and a general lack of Worship Ministry standards. It's probably not your fault... we are mostly a product of the culture we come from. And if you're typical, chances are your past Worship Ministries were hotbeds for selfishness, pride, personal preferences, territorialism, emotionalism, disorganization & lack of communication, and conflict. It is unfortunately the norm. I hope I'm wrong in your case! But most likely, you have a LOT of forgetting to do. The first step is to check your Paradigms of how 'we've always done it' at the door. You will never gain victory or grow while determined only to embrace the familiar.

Webinar Preparation

No Practices - BIG HUGE SUGGESTION: This is only 7 weeks long. I believe it unwise - even counterproductive - to do this Webinar Series and ALSO insist on a full practice roster for the Worship Team. Give them 7 weeks off from practices. Let this time be Holy - separated for the purpose of renewal & transformation. If necessary, pick an easy song list and just do a quick run-through/sound check before your weekly services (for this temporary season).
View as a Team - As much as possible, try to view this as a team - all in one room. Participate in the Q&A session (even if you just listen to others' questions). Invest time to discuss the material. Pray through this season!
Pick ONE Location - Pick a consistent viewing facility and stick with it as much as possible (eliminates the variables). If your church uses overhead projection, are your screens tied in to the internet?
Internet Connection - Whether using a projector or a computer screen, make sure your chosen location has a reliable High Speed Internet connection. If possible, avoid wireless connections. They are not always the most dependable.
Type of Computer - It is ideal to use a hard-wired, fast working computer with a large viewing screen, hooked up to a great sound system. Wireless connections sometimes slow down or get dropped. Also, laptops have battery issues. If you MUST use a laptop, PLEASE make sure it is plugged in! Also, some laptop screens are difficult to view if you are slightly off to the side. Sound quality & volume are also common laptop issues. Avoid them altogether if possible.
Pre-Webinar Testing - Test your Log-in credentials on the Webinar site BEFORE the day of the seminar - just to make sure everything is working. Also, Log-in 30 minutes to 1 hour before the Webinar is set to begin. That gives you enough time for alternatives, should anything malfunction.
Archives! - Remember, if the worst should happen... you can always view the Webinar's recording afterward. So don't panic if everything doesn't go JUST right! Remind everyone that their Log-in & Passcode is good for the entire team. They can view & view again from home as many times as they like, through the end of the 2 month period.
Prompt Beginnings - We can't delay our start. Remind everybody to be there plenty early, settled in, and to remain respectfully quiet throughout the presentation. There will be talk time after the lesson!
Invite your Whole Church? - Sometimes, the obstacles of a Worship Ministry are NOT the ones on the team! You have MWM's blessing to invite Deacons, Pastors, well-behaved Teenage Youth, and even the entire congregation. We strongly advise against including children who are of an age requiring care, or not old enough to realize when they are to remain silent through presentations. If at all possible, provide child care at the church for people who may need help, so they can come apart and focus. But even if this can't happen... even if a majorly disruptive event should occur... remember there's always the Archives!
Download the Lesson Plan - For those who wish to take notes and have a reference to help them follow along, the Lesson Plan is important. Make sure you have downloaded it and made enough copies in advance. Doing this last minute could cause chaos if there are copier/printer issues, or if the file doesn't download properly.
Honesty, Vulnerability, and Respect - During the course of this Series, we're going to dig deep. We may unearth some very tender subjects, about which passions may run high. This is to be expected. In fact, it's the whole point. Surgery always hurts. But talk to your team beforehand, and lay down the rules of being honest, being strong enough to be vulnerable, and paying respect to others' opinions and values - whether or NOT we agree with them. This does NOT mean holding back or avoiding a hard discussion/decision because someone might play the 'hurt' card - quite the contrary! But it DOES mean "speaking the truth in love" when it needs to be spoken.

Testimonies!

[From Michael Warner Seminars]

Pastors and Pastors' Wives:
- “Everything taught today is God-inspired… Christ-centered preparation and delivery.” – K.C.
- “WOW, where do I begin? As a Pastor’s wife, I have struggled with people-pleasing… to deal with hard people/persons. Bottom line: Today my heart was full of tears and joy; humbled and broken for Christ-centeredness! How freeing to be reminded that Christ is my focus and my ‘All in all.’” – T.G.
- “Would like to bring other leaders to [your next seminar].” – D.G.
- “Hard teaching subjects, handled with grace.” – D.L.
- “Wish our deacons had been here…” – M.F.
Worship Directors & Leaders:
- “The entire afternoon spoke to me. Issues were revealed to me, my perspective was changed or developed on others, and my eyes were opened to things I was doing even in my own ministry. Most of all, I realized how much I am observant of problems instead of being conducive to a resolution.” – L.L.
- “I was blessed by the in-depthness of Michael Warner’s teaching. It really brought a lot of themes and ideas home, and just gave me greater insight on how to worship and operate more effectively within my church and worship team” – D.C.
- “All of our leadership, elders, board chair, etc. [would benefit from this seminar]!” – R.Y.
- “I appreciated the [Worship Ministry] Covenant and pledge.” – T.K.
Worship Team Members:
- “Excellent!!! Appreciate Mike sharing his experiences in order to help make more effective worship teams for the glory of our God!” – D.H.
- “This whole presentation was excellent! Every worship team should attend this seminar whether or not the team is experiencing conflict. These principles will help a troubled team get back on track, focusing on the true reason the team exists.” – M.M.
- “Sound men are part of your team. As you said, many forget this!” – J.A.
- “The heart of God, evident through the message, was both gracefully convicting and wonderfully refreshing. It not only pertained to worship-related characteristics, but the entire approach to any fruitful ministry effort. I will pass on the amazing ministry that you have going here.” – A.L.
- “Inspirational. Mike has a wonderful way of expressing principles succinctly. The conference is worth while for all types of ministry leaders and members.” – A.C.
- “Excellent teaching/preaching/worship! There’s a lot I come away with from this seminar.” – S.S.
Youth:
- “I am 15 years old and in the process of helping build a youth praise team. Everything said today made me understand and become very determined to do the work of the Lord. After today, I have a new perspective on [praise and worship teams]. Even though it won’t be easy, I’m ready to take on the pressure for God. I’m so very grateful that I came here today because if I didn’t, I’d be lost.” – R.S.
- “Today, many things inspired me to change a lot of things in my life. I am ready for a great change, and I am willing to sacrifice many things to become more like God!” – E.J.
- “I see clearly now the error of watering down [Christ’s message] down for the sake of presenting it culturally.” – C.P.
- “My eyes were opened about Christian bands, habits of teens in those things, and many, many more things.” – A.C.
- “Incredible. Mike Warner is incredibly gifted and informed in articulating the true values of a Christ-centered team. I would recommend it to anyone who wishes to define what worship is.” – D.M.
- “This seminar has opened my eyes a lot. It has made me think about what I need to be as a praise leader/dancer/singer, and also [as] a person…” – M.C.
- “Being in a group and working with others who may not always see things the way I do, the devil tends to play on our [lack of unity, which] blinds us to our true purpose.” – J.M.
