songs that are not old but proven . The printed music formats , lyric videos and sound is very flexible for churches with musicians who are learning to play or worship ministries that want to present something playable and singable that doesn ’ t require a huge technology learning curve or even excessive practice or gear to pull off .
[ WM ] We like the fact that you also are making resources for the Latin speaking churches . Tell us about that ?
[ Craig ] Gateway Publishing and Gateway Church create many resources in Spanish . We know that there are perhaps even more small churches without worship leaders or fully trained musicians in the Spanish speaking world than in the English-speaking churches . We recently created 25 WorshipTeam . tv lyric videos and recordings in Spanish to serve these churches . We ’ ve just started spreading the word on these and hope that we can find many ways to serve those churches in Latin America with this resource .
[ WM ] Your tag line of “ Arrangements you can play . Songs you want to sing ” is a good overview of what WorshipTeam . tv is about . You are just getting started . What are some of your future plans ?
[ Craig ] We are committed to creating these arrangements for as long as churches need them and use them . We ’ re discussing kids ’ music and other extensions of these arrangements into churches and church choirs that want to worship , play , and sing simple arrangements and powerful songs . The COVID crisis has created smaller gatherings as even more of the norm and we believe there will be more opportunities than ever to help small groups , small churches or even house churches with these resources . To sum it all up , we believe the perfect sized church is the one you feel comfortable worshipping in and there should be resources that meet your needs .
