Worship is more than music. But what does worship look like in a healthy church? And what about the how and the why of worship?

Dr. Robert Webber, the founder and director of the Institute for Worship Studies, understands the big picture and the intricacies of how worship can best be integrated into the life of the local church.

For more than 30 years at Wheaton College and now at Northern Baptist Seminary, Dr. Webber has studied and taught about the impact of the worship experience in the lives of individuals and congregations.

More Than Music will help you see how traditional, contemporary, and postmodern congregations can wrap their minds and hearts around the ancient beauty of worshiping God.

Joining Dr. Webber for this practical seminar on worship principles are some of today’s best-known and most beloved worship leaders: Chris Tomlin, Ron Kenoly, Dennis Jernigan, Floyd Ellsworth and Joel Engle, who also serves as the host of this event.

More Than Music will help you discover:

• If worship style is important
• How worship can be both contemporary and ancient
• What the Bible says about worship
• Important elements in building a worship team
• How to introduce new styles of worship to your church
• And much, much more!
