Included Bonuses
WL eBook ($97 value)
There’s no instruction manual for the worship leader, until now! The Worship Leadership eBook is the written form of all of the content in this course.
You'll get 60 pages full of detailed explanations and easy to follow diagrams that is the perfect complement to the video lessons as you progress through the course.
This is an incredibly practical guide that will be a reference for years to come as you lead worship in any ministry setting.
18 PDF Cheat Sheets ($97)
Many of the lessons come with a downloadable worksheet with full color graphics.
These PDF downloadable Cheat Sheets will help you better understand the concepts and will help you implement them into your own ministry.
You can also keep them as a quick reference in case you wan to review a concept.
Studio Chart Template ($47 Value)
Once you learn "Studio Charting" and "Nashville Numbers" you'll have a chance to try it out for yourself. This bonus will let you create your own Studio Charts! (works with "Microsoft Word" and Mac's "Pages")
Numbers to Letters Conversion Tool ($47 value)
If you chart in Nashville Numbers first, you may want to then convert to a particular key. You can always use the "find and replace" tool to do that in your document editor.
However, this handy bonus will let you automatically transpose a number chart into any key with the click of a button if you use a Mac computer.
It's a custom designed "AppleScript" that makes the job a little quicker and works with both “Word” documents and “Pages” documents!
Nashville Number System Course
The Nashville Number System is a game-changer for musicians. If you know how to use it, it will literally cut your rehearsal times in half and help you communicate more clearly with your team.
There are two parts to the NNS:
The “System” part is what helps musicians communicate with each other. This is incredibly useful, even if you never learn numbers.
The “Numbers” part has to do with basic music theory, which will help with transposing and understanding music.
This full course is included with WLA member access.
Over 2,000 WLs have benefited… Hear from them:
"All of the videos were easy to work through and very helpful. It's made a real difference for our church on Sunday morning. This course has truly been a blessing!"
— Paul Rothenberger —
"I have been leading worship for 7 years, mostly at very small churches, and this was great information to help me understand things from a new perspective. The planning modules gave me new insights, and I even found many of the processes inspiring."
— Stephanie VandenBerg —
"I am excited to move from the week-to-week worship leader, to being one who is well organized and planning out much further in advance. From being someone who had no idea how or where to even begin in this process, to now having the tools to conduct this often overlooked part of the ministry is very exciting for me!"
— Jonathan Phillips —
I’ve been leading worship for 25 years and even mentoring others… and I found myself glued to the screen, taking notes!
This course has reignited my creative process and has given my entire weekend service evaluations more depth and clarity.
This stuff is Gold!

Meet Your Instructor
Just like you, I love leading worship. In fact, I’m currently a Worship Arts Pastor at a church of around 2,000 and have been for 12 years now.
Over the past 25 years, I’ve led worship and developed teams for several 'mega' churches, a few church plants, over 35 youth camps, worship development conferences, yearly mission conferences around the US, and international conferences in Europe, Asia, and South America.
I also teach online worship guitar lessons which have been viewed over 4.5 million times and have helped thousands.
I've even had some really fun opportunities recently, such as organizing a choir for a Chris Tomlin concert and being the go-to worship leader for the driver’s chapel at Bristol Motor Speedway on race day!
However, I get the most joy out of serving other worship leaders and watching them thrive. These courses have helped WLs from all over reach their fullest potential. You're not alone. What you do is a high calling, and I'm here to help as much as I can.
