WorshipTogether Conference

It's the year of the worship conferences in Kansas! The 2010 worship conference year kicks off in April with the WorshipTogether.com conference in Lenexa at Westside Family Church.

In 2001 I stumbled upon WorshipTogether.com and found a treasure trove of resources for a young growing worship leader.  These guys have a great heart for empowering, encouraging and equipping worship ministry folks all over the world.

If you're a worship leader, check out the guest lineup which includes Leeland, Phil Wickham, Christy Nockels and many others.  Visit the site.

Check out my buddy Rich Kirkpatrick's post here for a chance to win free tickets! Rich is teaching at the conference.
