A Saturday workshop for the worship and tech team!
Saturday, February 28 at Creekside
Join us at the Church Music Workshop at Creekside Christian Church in Elk Grove, CA on Saturday, February 28 to level up your skills on a range of musical instruments and tech!
There are workshops for voice, guitar, keys, drums, sound, media, worship leading, song writing and more! The unique format gives you the opportunity to practice what you are learning on your instrument or tech gear right there in the classroom.
Bring your instruments! Be ready to sing, play, and engage the whole day (full list of workshops below).
Meredith Andrews Leading Worship!
Meredith Andrews is a Dove award winning artist and worship leader coming to lead worship and teach song-writing at the conference!
Her passion is to write and lead songs that focus people's hearts on Christ and encourage local church worship leaders and teams.
Meredith led as part of the Vertical Worship team and more recently at Belonging Co., her home church in Nashville, TN.
Her songs "Open Up The Heavens", "Not For A Moment" and "Spirit of the Living God" have been sung in churches around North America.
If you come for nothing else, come for the opening general session with Meredith!
What you'll experience:
• Learn how to sing, play, or run tech gear better - 11 different track options to choose from (full list below)!
• Practice on your instrument/tech gear right in the workshop, not just listen to a teacher demonstrate
• Lunch is included!
You'll learn skills you can put into practice immediately, this is a super practical event!
-A number of workshops are designed to build on each other. Examples: the vocal workshop has 3 sessions that build on each other, the acoustic guitar class has 3 sessions that build on each other, and so on.
-Each track has it's own room. You can stay in one room/track for the day (vocals all 3 sessions, for instance) or move around based on your interests (vocals the first session, worship leading the 2nd session, keyboards the 3rd).
-Roger Byrd and the CSBC team have been helping church teams grow through this event for over 20 years in the Bay Area and we are thrilled to bring this event to Creekside again this year!
