Singer vs Worship Leader

Singers vs Worship Leaders: which one are you?

So last week I posted a link to Bonface Morris' blog discussing singers vs worship leaders.
Did you get a chance to read it? If not, go back and take a look he makes some interesting points.(link below)


Today, I explain how the article relates to the 'Voice in Worship'
-----

ANYONE can sing but not ANYone is/can be a worship leader.
Singers are all about the performance and the adulation. They already think they've got it going on. Worship Singers are about heart, intimacy and relationship and are always learning.
Or as I say: Quality over Quantity 

I believe most of the singers I work with are Worship leaders.  Why?

Because the fact they have taken time to seek out coaching demonstrates that they understand the impact of the voice in worship and that solid vocals are an important aspect of their singing.

When I say 'solid vocals' I am not talking about the chops, runs and rifts and hitting every note perfectly, but about giving the best they can give to the service of God, improving and developing.

So, which one are you?

Are you a singer or a worship leader? (look at the points below)


SINGER:

• Quantity (how many songs can I sing?)
• Performance (inward)
• Care less about 
• Weak points
• Development
• Presentation
• Exclusive
• Come and go
  
  WORSHIP LEADER:
• Quality ("I will prepare 6 songs but will only sing 2 if the congregation are engaged in worship and seeking God)
• Facilitates (Outwards. Brings people with them)
• Ministry focused
• Seek out ways to 
• Strengthen weak and strong points
• Develop the team (singers, musicians, pa)
• Improve presentation
• Can lead a community of people. Finds ways to engage the congregation.
• Committed.

  Remember: Quality over Quantity - A worship leader develops their voice for ministry not performance. If God is calling you into ministry(choir, praise team) and you need to work on your vocals, seek out a Christian vocal coach who understands your vocal and spiritual requirements.
