The National Worship Leader Conference is the latest evolution in the suite of tools provided by Worship Leader. It has grown out of our purpose and desire to serve the Church as a whole. It is an outgrowth of the core principles and calling of Worship Leader magazine. The Conference adds depth and greater accessibility to the published products of Worship Leader.

At the conference you will be able to witness, meet and interact with an incredibly diverse group of pastors, worship leaders and teachers from within the Church across the nation and around the world and participate with them in the current worship conversation. Learn directly from their lives and experiences. Share with them for a few days the passions, struggles and unique blessings upon their lives as leaders in the present day Church. Share their ideas, insights and their music as they, like you, bring worship offerings to God, whether through music, service or teaching.

Worship Leader magazine, our flagship publication, was founded as a journal 20 years ago, by Dr. Charles Fromm, and began publishing in its present day magazine format in 1990. The staff, writers, and columnists each work diligently to serve our readership of over 40,000 subscribers for this purpose:

Believing that God is the Audience of our worship, we provide a trusted gathering place in our changing world, a point of excellence where the global worship community can connect, communicate, sharpen their skills and be offered a platform to author multi-media devotional arts that direct the Church toward the one true worship leader – Jesus Christ.
