If you lead worship or plan services, you’re always looking for creative ideas.
It’s one thing to look for creative ideas. It’s another to create a culture where it happens on a regular basis – empowering the creative people in your church to create and serve the vision.
That’s what I discuss with Kurtis Parks – Worship Pastor at National Community Church.
Kurtis is doing a phenomenal job leading his team to create on a regular basis, write original songs, and serve their church with unity, excellence, creativity, and authenticity.
