On this site, I typically don’t like to talk about myself too much.
Rather, I prefer to write in a way that applies to you, encourages you, and challenges you as a worship leader.
But today, I want to introduce you to another huge part of my life. I am the Creative Arts Pastor at Allison Park Church in Pittsburgh, PA.
Over the past year, we have been working on a live recording. And we are very close to sharing the entire project with you: Allison Park Worship.
The Creative Process of Allison Park Worship
This project started as a group of friends getting together to worship, write songs, and seek God about where we are as a church. Call it a songwriting retreat. For two days, that’s all we did.
I was very encouraged by the seeds of songs that were planted.
From there, we worked hard on lyrics. We rehearsed a ton. We scheduled a worship night with our church. We recorded it. And we’re about to share it with you.
How We Made This Album
Allison Park Worship is a collective of worship leaders, songwriters, and musicians. A couple of us are worship staff. Some are Ministry School students. Some are young people on our worship team.
All the songwriting, production, and recording was done in house. From the live night of tracking at Allison Park Church to different homes throughout Pittsburgh, we created this record.
These are songs we wrote for our church. These are songs our church owns and loves because they are passionate worshipers. My prayer is that you’ll be inspired, encouraged, and filled with hope to lift your eyes to the God of the Impossible – the God of Undying Love.
