SOUND CHECK
WHO ARE WE ?
I had already been publishing Christian Musician magazine for six years when I was contacted by my friends at Worship Together and asked to help launch an American version of their British magazine . I was also a Christian concert promoter at the time and I had been helping them with some of their conferences here in the Great Northwest . Right when we were going to launch Worship Together magazine here in the states , the folks in the U . K . needed to shut their publication down . Yikes !
To be honest , this felt like the carpet getting pulled out from under my feet . But the Lord had bigger plans . After a few days of being uncharacteristically down in the dumps , I went to a local music store and bought an old 1940 ’ s Supertone nylon string guitar to cheer me up . That helped . But even more than that , the Lord reminded me that I already knew how to publish a magazine , and that there was still a need for a publication to train worship teams making the transition to a more contemporary and modern worship music style .
I knew that the best way to train the whole team - from leaders , to band members to the tech folks , was to gather influencers who were already training worship teams . A lot was happening back then . Churches were putting down their hymnals and placing the words on screens . Many churches were adding electric guitar , bass and drums to the mix . Electronic keyboards were coming into their own . And
then of course , the first rumble of the silent stage began to emerge .
It was our contributing writers back then , and still to this day almost 20 years later , who are making the difference . Their experience and practical advice from leading others for years is what makes the content in [ WM ] so special .
We are all about training ! You will not find anything political in this magazine , or anything of questionable humor . We do like good humor however . We are all about encouraging , edifying and training you ! Please glean from us and pass it around to your team mates … we give it to you freely .
It is a team effort to present our monthly # BetterBySunday based publication , and we are grateful for it .
Lord Bless Ya !
