The Six Hats of the Worship Leader

by Rich Kirkpatrick, Alice Sullivan (Editor), Emilie Kirkpatrick (Illustrations)

You can wear a hat, share a hat, or give a hat away. Many church leadership books today seem to focus heavily on the language of the corporate world. Throw a creative worship leader into the mix and vertigo sets in for all involved. Why? Creative leaders simply think differently. If you want to learn how to better explain your worship leadership to those in charge, this book is for you. If your role is leading worship leaders, the language shared in this book aims to help you take your team to their next level.

Reviews

[Barb Andreas · Rating 5 out of 5]

Excellent. Compartmentalizes people’s jobs in simple form so all understand “who’s on first”. Lists the duties and responsibilities of said jobs. All to educate and create a unity among the crew and worship team. Expertly written.
