      Preface

      In this book I draw from several decades of experience in music and worship ministry and pass on some practical concepts I have applied to my own life. I’ve tried to be brief, practical and relevant.

      I am grateful to every team member I have worked with and each church in which I’ve served. I dedicate this Worship Leader’s Handbook to all who want to know more about the behind the scenes workings of worship ministry and the making of a worship leader.

      My Journey as a Worship Leader

      Till Jesus the kind Shepherd found me,

      And now I am on my way home.

      Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me,

      All the days all the days of my life.

      All the days all the days of my life.

      We had large family gatherings at Christmas where my uncles and aunts would bring out their accordions and guitars and play and sing for us. My sisters and I picked up new songs and would sing them the following Christmas when we were required to share a song or a poem with the family.

      When I was in seventh grade a beautiful but rather pathetic sounding guitar appeared in our home and I started taking lessons from my junior high music teacher. About two years later the guitar was replaced by a lovely new Yamaha I received as a Christmas gift from my parents. Little did I know that this would set me on an exciting journey.

      My Junior High music teacher, Mr. Peter Dueck, was an incredibly gifted teacher and I was incredibly fortunate to have him at our school for the three years I was in Junior High,
