Worship Leading Tips & Techniques

Below is a list of some helpful worship leading tips and techniques.

WE MUST GIVE THE PEOPLE A CHOICE

The worship leader is a prompter, not a cheerleader at a pep rally. Being a "leader" of worship does not mean being a "conductor" or "controller" of worship. When worship leaders try to manipulate people into a certain response or expression, they are moving into this forbidden area of conducting or controlling worship. Ps. 29:2
A leader does not elicit a response through manipulative means; he or she inspires a response by way of example. Ps. 99:5
He or she leads by encouraging and inspiring the people to enter into worship, but the people have the prerogative of either responding or observing. Ps. 34:1
We must never attempt to coerce the people, even if the desired goal is a noble one. Ps. 113:3
Good worship leaders do not learn manipulation, but they do learn exhortation. They do not try to control, but they do seek to inspire. Rom. 12:8
