Episode 2 Show Notes-The Worship Wars

What are the worship wars really all about?

Traditional or contemporary is a matter of style or preference.

What works at one church won’t work somewhere else.

The thought that only contemporary worship can reach younger people is not true.

• Bluegrass worship

• Growing church with a growing choir.

There’s more to worship than music, but that’s our focus today.

Contemporary can become traditional when it becomes predictable.

Traditional can become contemporary when it utilizes other elements.

1. Passion-Does your worship leader, choir director, music leader, minister of music love (more…)

Welcome to the Rural Pastor podcast this is Episode 1 and I am your host Heath Mullikin.

I’m the pastor of Oakway Wesleyan Church.
I want to provide a forum for discussion and ideas for rural pastors.

3 types of churches and 3 ways to get your church moving in the right direction.

Type A

• Builds wall and moats.
• Doesn’t go out into the community to help.
• Doesn’t want to bring anyone new into the church.
• May sends lots of money to “missions” (more…)
