Week-long Worship Leader INTENSIVE

Dwayne Moore’s Worship Leader Intensive is unlike any “conference” you’ve probably ever been to. In fact, we like to think of it as the “unconference.”

It’s 5 days of powerful and encouraging Bible study and small group interaction with worship leaders just like you who want to sharpen their skills and deepen their effectiveness as ministers through music and the arts.

Who can come?

• You must complete an application and be accepted in order to attend the Intensive. SPACE IS LIMITED to a very small select group.
• You must fall into one of two categories: You must either be the main worship leader at a church (or pastor) NOW, or you must feel called of God to prepare yourself to be a main worship leader at a church in the not-so-distant future.
• Also, you must have the approval and support of your pastor to attend.
• Another requirement is that you are willing to pass on to others what you learn from the Intensive.

Why should I attend this Intensive rather than a major worship conference?

First of all, don’t get us wrong. We love worship conferences and could recommend some great ones for you to attend. But if you are looking for a hands-on, in-your-face, personalized experience where you can get your questions answered about your particular situation, then Dwayne’s Intensive is for you. Dwayne loves to speak at conferences, and his ministry has organized several in the past. But Dwayne wants worship leaders to see him and his praise team when they’re not on the stage under the lights and at their “shiny best”. He wants an environment where everyone can let down their guards and their facades. Ministry isn’t always orchestrated and well-rehearsed. Dwayne wants worship leaders to experience life together for several intense days–sitting around on couches, talking honestly and searching deeply for ways to grow their groups and themselves.

Where Will We Meet?

Well, the plan is to do most of our group meetings in Dwayne’s home in Birmingham–in a relaxed and casual setting.’Course, he has to actually HAVE a home in Birmingham first! As of now, he is still trying to sell his home in Huntsville (2 hours away) and move to Birmingham. Call him crazy, but he is completely at peace that God will have his family settled into a cozy home in Birmingham in plenty of time for this Intensive in April. (We too believe God’s able to make the home happen, but for the record, we still think Dwayne’s a little crazy…) If we’re not able to meet in Dwayne’s home, we’ll find a conference room in a hotel or church in Birmingham.

What Will We Do?

The format of the week will look something like this:

.         Tuesday, April 24

• Arrive in Birmingham that afternoon. (If you fly, we’ll pick you up from the airport.) We’ll all meet for orientation and our first session together with Dwayne around 3PM.
• Then that evening, we’ll throw some hamburgers and chicken on the grill at Dwayne’s house and just enjoy laughing, talking and getting to know each other better. Dwayne’s praise band will most likely join us. (They love free food!) No doubt we’ll end the night with some intimate and spontaneous worship time together.

Wednesday, April 25

• We’ll hit it pretty early that morning with Dwayne. He’ll give us some strong biblical teaching on leadership and ministry. Then we’ll each do some evaluation time of our personal leadership skills. The goal will be to uncover some of our weak areas and find ways to strengthen them, while also celebrating our strengths.
• Wednesday afternoon we’ll go and invest some time with one of Dwayne’s worship leader friends in Birmingham. We’re not quite ready to announce who yet, but trust us, it will be an experienced and highly capable worship pastor from one of the key influential churches around Birmingham.
• Then Wednesday evening, we’ll go and sit in on that worship leader’s rehearsal at his “happening” music ministry. You’ll be able to watch and learn “from the best”. You’ll walk away with some great ideas of what you can do better in your own rehearsals and how you can better lead your team.

Thursday, April 26

• Thursday will be a special treat. We plan to have a well known worship leader and song writer in on that day. He’ll teach us from his wealth of knowledge and experience both on and off the stage.
• That evening we’ll sit in on Dwayne’s rehearsal with his praise band, observing how Dwayne leads his team and applies the very principles he teaches around the world.

Friday, April 27

• Friday morning Dwayne will again pour into us and lead us through a valuable discussion of our individual ministries–about where we are and where we believe God wants us to go. We’ll each look at specific things we can do (or stop doing) to help grow our team numerically and spiritually.
• Friday afternoon, Rick Muchow (worship pastor at Saddleback Church) will eat dinner with us.
• Then we’ll go behind the scenes as Rick, Dwayne and the Station Band prepare for the exciting “Night of Worship at The Station”. This concert will be open to the public, but the Intensive attendees will be the ones to benefit most from the powerful worship and teaching that we’ll experience both on stage and backstage.

Saturday, April 28

• Saturday morning we’ll gather at Dwayne’s house again, and for 3 hours Rick will teach us and talk with us. He has 25 years of experience working with Rick Warren. He’s been a part of Saddleback Church since it began. He knows what it’s like to work in small churches with low budgets. But he also knows how to lead hundreds of people on multiple worship teams.
• Saturday’s time with Rick will be worth all the money you invest on the Intensive! But then again, the same could be said of the deep well of learning you will have already drawn from on Tuesday through Friday with Dwayne and the other expert mentors!
• After one final lunch together, we’ll say our goodbyes and go home more focused, more renewed and more encouraged in our ministries than we have been in years–guaranteed!

“If you’re looking for a way to grow in your knowledge of what it means to be a worship leader, to be challenged to take your ministry to the next level, and to connect with other worship leaders who are on the same journey as you, I would highly recommend Dwayne’s coaching opportunities.”  — Barry Westman, All About Worship.com

 

 

.

 

“Taking Dwayne’s worship leaders course was far more than practical study for me.  I have never experienced more spiritual nurturing and growth in such a short time.  I was blessed with prayerfully planned topics in every session, praying together with God’s children and a teacher yielding to the Holy Spirit and humble enough to accept different ideas from fellow worshipers.  I came to this course with my mind and heart open and to hear God speak to me, but He did far more… HE SANG!!!  The greatest result for me is having a much more intimate relationship with the Lord.  I know that no matter where my walk with the Lord leads me, this experience has glorified Him and will ever make a difference in my life and the lives I influence.   I encourage anyone interested or already involved in music ministry to take this course as an offering to our Heavenly Father… you will reap spiritual gifts and connections with His children that you’ve never imagined.” — Kris LeDonne, worship leader

“Dwayne’s class was awesome! I usually go the National Worship Leader Conference, but couldn’t this year…His class was a great substitute!” — Rachael Jones, worship leader

“Dwayne has enthusiasm and a desire to train others–and he has lots of knowledge!” — Robert Grafton, worship leader

“I started this class on the verge of burn-out, frustrated and tired. But Dwayne has given me the tools to start again. I’m refreshed and equipped to do the work the Lord has called me to do.” — Karelin James, worship leader

“I have grown so much…I would like our team members to take this course as well.” – Eleanor Sheilds, worship leader
