Leading worship is one of the most rewarding jobs in ministry, but it can also be thankless, exhausting, and isolating. Whether you’ve been on the job for six months or sixteen years (or longer!), you need the boost that only a worship conference can offer. WorshipLife 2020 is a four-day event designed to help worship leaders be encouraged, equipped, and empowered to point others to love and worship God with all their hearts, souls, and minds.
Encouraged in your calling
Find encouragement to persevere in your specific role as you leave behind the hectic pace of Sunday mornings to connect authentically with God through worship. Immerse yourself in the task before you as you fellowship with new friends, get help with your questions, and gather fresh, creative ideas from other pastors, teachers, and worship leaders experiencing many of the same situations, just like you are.
Equipped for leading others
Access the latest resources and techniques to take your worship team, choir, or orchestra to the next level. Whatever your need in organizing or managing your worship ministry, you’ll find solutions at WorshipLife. Reading sessions, choral premieres, vendor presentations, and breakout teaching will give you all the tools you need to be a dynamic leader.
Empowered for effective ministry
Discover the power of God through the Holy Spirit to help you live out Matthew 22:37 as you lead the church in worship. At WorshipLife 2020, you’ll be changed through morning devotions, Bible study and worship, artists’ nightly concerts, prayer meetings, and breakout sessions.
This is an intimate event created with you in mind. Be refreshed and renewed both personally and professionally as you seek to walk more closely with Jesus, lead His church, and love Him with all your heart, soul, and mind.

Write About Jesus Workshop
For 20 years, Write About Jesus has pursued its mission “To equip and inspire the community of Christian songwriters.” At our annual three day workshop writers from all over the world gather to be taught and mentored by many of the top writers in Christian music and to take the “next steps” on their journey to becoming better songwriters. Our clinicians combined have won over 50 Dove Awards, written over 100 #1 songs, and over 200 musicals.
The results speak for themselves. Dove Award winners, #1 songs, writers who have signed major publishing deals, and many others who are regularly getting songs placed on projects throughout the Christian music industry—this is what the workshop has done for many registrants.
Class sessions include the basics of structure and writing an emotionally impacting lyric and a singable, memorable melody. You’ll also learn how to co-write and where to turn for inspiration and ideas. Classes are always taught by current writers who have a heart to help and encourage the next wave of Christian songwriters.
Write About Jesus is known for its warm, encouraging approach, and our goal is to quickly make you feel like part of our songwriting family.
In 2020, Write About Jesus is thrilled to partner with WorshipLife to provide the Write About Jesus experience in Gatlinburg.
