Endorsed Worship Coaches, Elly Boersma, Joy Engelsman, James Lee, and Katie Ritsema-Roelofs offer pastoral and practical suggestions for choosing music for worship. Their advice comes as they serve in various settings that include: a small church, an interim position, a larger established church, and worship planning for two churches.
This roundtable discussion addresses these topics and more:
- The interaction between pastor and worship leader/director in song selection
