Top 15 Worship Leader Conferences

-

Attending worship conferences provides an opportunity to learn from others, be refreshed, and see how other worship leaders navigate the joys and challenges of that role. Investing in yourself by attending a conference helps you return to church the following week with new ideas and solutions to issues you may have dealt with for years. Additionally, taking your team with you strengthens team relationships and allows you to spread out amongst various sessions during the conference.

A one-day FOH mixing event for the engineer, the musician, and the creative.

During MxU Live, we’ll spend time comparing different mix methods, discuss why some styles seem to work in a mix…and why some don’t. Expect to spend quite a bit of time listening and watching different mixes get crafted (and deconstructed) in this one-of-a-kind setting. The event is held at Crosspointe Church.
