At Worshipflow, we know a new year represents fresh opportunities for growth in ministry. As we looked towards 2024 we felt it’s time to set some powerful resolutions.

In this article, we’ll be covering the key areas where worship teams can make meaningful improvements in the next 12 months. Consider it a blueprint for levelling up spiritually, musically, and operationally—because when leaders grow, the whole group thrives!

Deepen Your Spiritual Connection

We believe this foundation is non-negotiable. Our spirituality undergirds everything we do, so every worship team must nurture it. In 2024, commit to:

  • Establish regular Bible/prayer routines
  • Schedule times of solitude with God
  • Participate actively in fellowship groups
  • Ask mentors to encourage accountability

And gently urge your members toward spiritual growth too. Lead by demonstrating it!

Enhance Your Musical Expertise

Maybe achieving that instrumental goal is still lingering from 2023… No judgement here! But 2024 is the season for finally grasping it.

Beyond personal progress, let’s advance our team’s abilities too. Here’s what worship ministries can do:

  • Agree on group techniques to learn
  • Explore genres outside your defaults
  • Hold occassional jam sessions to experiment
  • Send members for specialized training (conferences, workshops, lessons, etc.)
  • Have experts coach beginners

Commitment to continuous improvement is key for exceptional praise!

Foster Team Development

Unity requires intention. Are you prioritizing bonding and communication? If not, make 2024 your year!

  • Hang out after rehearsals (pizza & wings!)
  • Create chat groups beyond logistics
  • Socialize outside church hours
  • Solicit sincere feedback
  • Train promising members to step up

Enhanced fellowship can unleash stunning creativity and harmony.

Improve Planning and Execution

Excellence demands exceptional organization and intentionally. What steps can worship teams take towards greater operational smoothness?

  • Map out services weeks ahead
  • Integrate themes with the preaching calendar
  • Use apps to coordinate tasks and personnel
  • Leverage technology for seamless events
  • Review after every service for improvement

When operations are streamlined, excellent execution naturally follows. And that makes space for God to fully inhabit our offering of praise!

Guard Your Personal Life

Without clear boundaries, burnout is inevitable. As you give your best this year, also nurture rest and renewal.

  • Build margin into each week
  • Entrust tasks to others
  • Reject non-essential commitments
  • Protect family time from work creep

Sustaining the long haul means honoring Sabbath. Don’t neglect it!

Launch into Growth and Change

There you have it—our suggestion for strategic growth in 2024! We know it won’t be easy, but promise every effort will amplify your Kingdom impact exponentially.

So wholeheartedly target the goals God assigns this year. Rally your team to transformation too. And stay grounded in why we lead worship—for the honor of our King!

We’re cheering you on. Now let’s get to work. This is your season!

YouTube Worship Playlists!

From Worshipflow editor Don Chapman:

I like to listen to Youtube videos/podcasts as I drive around and have wished I could find a good, current playlist of all the top worship songs.

I can’t find any! So I made my own on the Worshipflow Youtube channel!

You’ll find playlists for the top CCLI, Praisecharts and CCM radio hits updated every week.
