Worship 101: Introduction To Principles And Invitation To Practice, Eric Mathis, Paul Ryan
Worship 101: Introduction To Principles And Invitation To Practice, Eric Mathis, Paul Ryan
Symposium on Worship Archive
Learning to lead worship takes practice, but where does one begin? In this seminar, we will present five vital worship leadership practices and the principles that shape and sustain them. We will learn about praying publicly, choosing music, speaking introductions and transitions, telling stories, and the planning process that pulls these practices, and more, together. Along the way we will see examples and hear testimonies from students. We will engage in exercises and share together around tables. By the end, participants will have many opportunities to practice skills and gather valuable resources for future planning and learning in their communities …
Moving Worship: What Is Liturgical Dance?, Julia Start Fletcher
Moving Worship: What Is Liturgical Dance?, Julia Start Fletcher
Symposium on Worship Archive
Christian liturgy consists of a holy conversation between God and the gathered community. Dance, movement, and gesture may seem silent—but they powerfully shape our experience of this conversation. Come ready to explore how dance, movement, and gesture can be used in many different elements of the worship dialogue, both through leadership of trained dancers and in people in the pews.
Harmony On The Staff: Preachers And Musicians Should Be Friends, Wendie Brockhaus, Mike Graves Phd
Harmony On The Staff: Preachers And Musicians Should Be Friends, Wendie Brockhaus, Mike Graves Phd
Symposium on Worship Archive
We usually think of harmony in relation to music, but it also applies to church staffs. In the musical Oklahoma the farmer and cowman weren’t always friends, the one protecting turf and the other desiring freedom. Unfortunately, something similar happens with preachers and musicians who must work together weekly in planning and leading the church’s worship. Preachers don’t always understand music and musicians who must plan worship well in advance; musicians don’t always have theological training and appreciate the weekly burden of sermon preparation which can be in flux down to the very last moment. In this interactive workshop led …
Water, Wheat, And Honey: A Recipe For Abundant Life, Susan Briehl
Water, Wheat, And Honey: A Recipe For Abundant Life, Susan Briehl
Symposium on Worship Archive
In this workshop we will join the surprising journey of a group of emerging adults who volunteered to help fourth graders bake bread for their first Communion. With them we will travel on "paths as yet untrodden through perils unknown" in our common search for a faithful way of life in and for the world.
Accessible Gospel, Inclusive Worship: Vertical Habits In Action, Betty Grit, Barbara J. Newman
Accessible Gospel, Inclusive Worship: Vertical Habits In Action, Betty Grit, Barbara J. Newman
Symposium on Worship Archive
This workshop will give practical and innovative ideas for welcoming people of all ability levels into your worship service by using the framework of Vertical Habits—a set of habits that identify the words of worship that form our relationship with God and the way we live out our faith. Worship leaders, pastors, education volunteers, and worship planners will discover new ways to have each one enter into your corporate conversation with God.
The Art Of Collaboration, Linda Witte Henke
The Art Of Collaboration, Linda Witte Henke
Symposium on Worship Archive
This workshop will delve into the opportunities and challenging ingredient in the collaborative creation of liturgical art. Award-winning liturgical artist Linda Witte Henke will use images and narratives from a variety of collaborative projects to invite participants into consideration of guiding principles, group dynamics, and practical considerations for creating liturgical art in collaboration.
Glorifying God In Worship, Cornelius Plantinga Jr.
Glorifying God In Worship, Cornelius Plantinga Jr.
Symposium on Worship Archive
The Scriptures are full of glory. Israel is told by prophets to "give glory to the Lord." Angels at Jesus’ birth sing "Glory to God in the highest heaven." In John’s Gospel the Father and the Son glorify each other. And in the Psalms and I Chronicles people are told to "ascribe to the Lord glory and strength. Ascribe to the Lord the glory of his name." But how would this go in worship today? What, exactly, does it mean to glorify God in worship? Isn’t God already maximally splendid? What more can mere mortals add?
In-Between Words, Paul Ryan, Worship Apprentices
In-Between Words, Paul Ryan, Worship Apprentices
Symposium on Worship Archive
Scripture readings, sermons, and songs take up most of the time in a worship service. But it’s often what happens in between them that is most telling. Those little words and phrases that welcome guests, introduce songs, and prepare us for prayer make all the difference for encouraging full participation in worship. These phrases are crucial for extending hospitality and for forming congregations for deep engagement with God and each other.
Psalms For All Seasons As A Resource For Choirs, Martin Tel
Psalms For All Seasons As A Resource For Choirs, Martin Tel
Symposium on Worship Archive
The choir is an excellent conduit for bringing psalmody back into the heart of worshiping communities. Members of the Princeton Seminary Choir will demonstrate how musical settings from the psalter Psalms for All Seasons can be augmented by the choir or presented as choral anthems. Particular attention will be given to resourcing the smaller church ensemble or intergenerational choirs.
Links In The Liturgy: Creating "Flow" In A Worship Service, Howard Vanderwell
Links In The Liturgy: Creating "Flow" In A Worship Service, Howard Vanderwell
Symposium on Worship Archive
Are your worship services more like a novel which pursues a common theme, or a magazine that has a whole collection of elements which may (or may not) have much to do with each other? Vital worship can often be strengthened by an overall theme which holds it all together faithfully, and worship leaders will want to understand how creating links can help the service to be a complete conversation with God, flowing smoothly from one step to another. While this takes different forms in different worship traditions, we’ll explore the importance of these links, how best to create them, …
How (Not) To Preach In The Secular Age, Timothy Blackmon
How (Not) To Preach In The Secular Age, Timothy Blackmon
Symposium on Worship Archive
Many of my friends have a very different take on life. They hope to find personal significance without God. The gospel story I preach seems neither plausible or all that relevant. Philosopher Charles Taylor explains "we are now living in a spiritual supernova, a kind of galloping pluralism on the spiritual plane." This workshop is a brief field guide on how (not) to preach and teach the gospel in a secular age.
Sticky Liturgies: Worship, Youth Ministry, And The Faith Of America's Teenagers, Eric Mathis
Sticky Liturgies: Worship, Youth Ministry, And The Faith Of America's Teenagers, Eric Mathis
Symposium on Worship Archive
Research has shown that young people are abandoning the faith and leaving the church by the time they graduate from college. Might worship be part of the problem? This interactive workshop will briefly examine major studies in adolescent spirituality, explore multiple worship paradigms within individual congregations, and encourage reflection on the relationship between liturgical practice and adolescent spirituality
Leading Worship In A Post-Christian, Low-Biblical Literacy Age: Practical Lessons From Church History About The Catechetical Dimensions Of Worship, Gerald L. Sittser
Leading Worship In A Post-Christian, Low-Biblical Literacy Age: Practical Lessons From Church History About The Catechetical Dimensions Of Worship, Gerald L. Sittser
Symposium on Worship Archive
When we gather for worship, we long to have many people present who do not yet know the Bible well. We also long to have life-long worshipers, including our children and youth, come to know the Bible well. How can worship be led in ways that embrace these goals, in ways that foster greater love for and knowledge of God’s word? How can church history challenge us to imagine very practical ways of shaping warm, instructive, life-giving worship practices?
Prayer Around The Cross: Unpacking The Liturgies, Susan Briehl, Tom Witte
Prayer Around The Cross: Unpacking The Liturgies, Susan Briehl, Tom Witte
Symposium on Worship Archive
Discover the shape and essential elements of this meditative form of prayer akin to the practices Taizé, Iona, and Holden Village, a center for renewal in Washington State. Explore both musical and liturgical resources and imagine how to incorporate or create such liturgies in your setting. Participants in this workshop are encouraged to attend the Vesper/Prayer Service at 4:15 on Thursday or Friday, led by Susan Briehl and Tom Witt, before attending this workshop.
The Multicultural Dance: Its Implications For Christian Worship, Fernando A. Cascante-Gómez
The Multicultural Dance: Its Implications For Christian Worship, Fernando A. Cascante-Gómez
Symposium on Worship Archive
Using the imagery of "dancing" and based on the encounter of Jesus with the Syrophoenician woman as presented in the gospel of Mathew, participants in this workshop will be able to distinguish three steps to follow for relating with people from other cultural/ethnic backgrounds. Together we will discern some conceptual and practical implications of those steps when it comes to planning and implementing worship in a multicultural context.
The Most Important Word In Preaching, Mike Graves Phd
The Most Important Word In Preaching, Mike Graves Phd
Symposium on Worship Archive
Since the inception of the New Homiletic in the 1970s, preachers have been experimenting with inductive and narrative forms of preaching, thanks to the likes of Fred Craddock and Eugene Lowry. The idea is for sermons to engage people, create an experience of the biblical text. In recent years, however, some critics have noted a lack of biblical exposition among narrative preachers, and this at a time of biblical and theological illiteracy among congregations. In this interactive workshop we will explore the tension and talk about what may be the most important word in preaching, narrative, or otherwise.
Worshiping A Christ Who Is Hard To Know, Cornelius Plantinga Jr.
Worshiping A Christ Who Is Hard To Know, Cornelius Plantinga Jr.
Symposium on Worship Archive
In the gospels, Jesus seems to answer questions people did not ask. He abruptly switches topics. He unexpectedly falls silent. He exalts babies. He had to heal one man in two stages because he didn’t get it quite right at first. He needs to pray all the time. Frankly put, like his Father, Jesus Christ can be known but he is also hard to know. With this stubborn fact in mind, how shall we worship him?
Abraham Kuyper's Surprisingly Relevant Theology Of Liturgy, John D. Witvliet
Abraham Kuyper's Surprisingly Relevant Theology Of Liturgy, John D. Witvliet
Symposium on Worship Archive
Before Abraham Kuyper became a university leader and prime minister, he was a church historian and pastor. He wrote copiously and passionately about many topics, including both the devotional and liturgical dimension of worship. His writing offers much to challenge and deepen our own experience of worship, exploring how we can imagine heaven as we worship, how we can elicit sincere worship, and how we can perceive God’s action in and through worship. Come ready to think theologically and to leave with a set of sparkling quotations to provoke discussions in your ministry contexts back home.

Prayer Around The Cross For The Healing Of The Nations: A Candlelight Liturgy Of Scripture, Silence, And Simple Song, Calvin Institute Of Christian Worship, Susan Briehl, Tom Witte
Symposium on Worship Archive
Join us for this contemplative evening prayer service, set in the darkness, as we gather around a large map of the world, with the cross—our Tree of Life—at its center, to pray for nations, places, and peoples in need of healing, hope, and peace. Note: Workshop C6, Prayer around the Cross: Unpacking the Liturgies is being offered to help participants think about how to offer these kind of liturgies in their own setting.

Telling Stories In Worship: Principles And Practices, Eric Mathis
Telling Stories In Worship: Principles And Practices, Eric Mathis
Symposium on Worship Archive
This workshop will focus on telling stories in worship as well as the principles that shape and sustain this important worship leadership practice. While students will provide examples and discuss their own experiences with story-telling, workshop participants will be given the opportunity to practice their story telling skills as well as gather valuable resources for future planning and learning in their communities of faith.
Seven Streams Of 21st Century Congregational Song: Skills For Leading The People's Song In A Musically Multilingual World, Michael Hawn, James Abbington, William N. Heard, Jorge Lockward, Emmett G. Price Iii, Martin Tel
Seven Streams Of 21st Century Congregational Song: Skills For Leading The People's Song In A Musically Multilingual World, Michael Hawn, James Abbington, William N. Heard, Jorge Lockward, Emmett G. Price Iii, Martin Tel
Symposium on Worship Archive
The last forty years has not only featured a profusion of new congregational songs, but also a profusion in new types and styles of congregational song. Musicians are increasingly called to be adept at leading quite different types of songs—as well as working collaboratively to empower others to do so. This seminar will present a clear, vivid description of seven streams of congregational song, and provide practical tools and examples for the unique kinds of leadership skills needed for music in each stream to enliven singing in your community.
Singing The Creeds, Miranda Dodson
Singing The Creeds, Miranda Dodson
Symposium on Worship Archive
Together we will discuss the Apostles’ Creed and the Nicene Creed and examine a few musical versions of each. Creeds, by nature were not written to be sung and therefore lack essential musical elements, which make the singing creeds word-for-word not only impractical, but nearly impossible! However, the aim of this workshop is to explore combining the powerful proclamations of creeds with the soul-stirring unity of song to enrich congregational and personal worship.
Psalm-Surfing, Graham Kendrick
Psalm-Surfing, Graham Kendrick
Symposium on Worship Archive
Can we engage in sung worship together without knowing the songs, without a song-list or chord charts, using 100% God-inspired words, while being responsive to the Holy Spirit and creatively and musically adventurous all at the same time? I say yes! Come and see if you agree.
Assessing The Effect Of Worship Education And Worship Renewal At First Baptist Church Kings Mountain, North Carolina, Jonathan Bundon
Assessing The Effect Of Worship Education And Worship Renewal At First Baptist Church Kings Mountain, North Carolina, Jonathan Bundon
Doctor of Ministry Projects
For many Christians, worship has been reduced to the entertainment value centered on self rather than the Triune God. Ignorance must be combated with worship education and worship renewal. For the worshiper, how one prepares for corporate worship affects their worship experience and informs their private worship. The four-week study, Spirit and Truth, introduced members of First Baptist Church Kings Mountain to worship education and renewal and challenged them to assess their own worship practices. Quantitative and qualitative test results and observations validated this project's needs. In addition, the project afforded opportunities that might contribute to a life-long experiment of …

Understanding The Complexity Of Family: Examining Family Systems And The Process Of Relationship For Families And Congregation Of First Baptist Church Woodbury, Tn, William H. Hay V.
Doctor of Ministry Projects
Understanding the Complexity of Family: Examining Family Systems and Processes of Relationship for Families and Congregation of the First Baptist Church of Woodbury, Tennessee is a project designed to share family systems theory with families and church. Through six didactic sessions (triangulation, anxiety, self-differentiation, over and under functioning, crucial conversations, projection) and reflective journaling, families are encouraged to recognize the processes of being family and the parallel processes of family that are present in the life of a congregation. Using quantitative and qualitative instruments, results show that family and congregational functioning can be improved through raising awareness of systems process.
Praying The Psalms, Kathryn M. Schifferdecker
Praying The Psalms, Kathryn M. Schifferdecker
Faculty Publications
The Psalms teach us how to pray. When we pray the Psalms, we follow in the footsteps of a long line of Christians and Jews who have used the Psalter as a guide to prayer. We learn from those saints to bring all of ourselves to God in prayer: our sorrows, our laments, and our anger as well as our joys and praise.

Enriching Christian Hospitality At Malaby's Crossroads Missionary Baptist Church In Knightdale, North Carolina, Barbara Starr Barner
Enriching Christian Hospitality At Malaby's Crossroads Missionary Baptist Church In Knightdale, North Carolina, Barbara Starr Barner
Doctor of Ministry Projects
Hospitality is the welcoming of strangers, family, and friends. In the early biblical and historical traditions, hospitality focused on welcoming the alien and extending resources to them. Hospitality, however, need not be limited to the basic physical needs of the stranger, but spiritual needs are to be addressed as well. In the reflection of Jesus’ work on the cross, Christian hospitality should be the intentional, responsible, and caring act of welcoming or visiting strangers, enemies, the distressed, downtrodden, without regard for reciprocation. The goal of this project was to enhance Malaby’s Christian hospitality culture and take our personal interactions to …
