Are you building a worship team—or simply preparing a performance?
Every worship leader knows the challenges of ministry. Getting everyone to rehearsal, developing musical excellence, managing different personalities, and keeping the team spiritually focused can sometimes feel overwhelming.
But what if you could transform just 10–15 minutes of rehearsal into an opportunity for spiritual growth, renewed commitment, and authentic worship?
Introducing The Surrendered Worshipper Teacher's Guide, a Scripture-centered leadership resource created by worship leader, vocal coach, and ministry mentor Katrice Cornett.
Designed to accompany The Surrendered Worshipper: A 7-Day Heart Study, this practical guide equips worship leaders, ministers of music, and creative arts directors to develop worshippers who understand that true worship begins with a surrendered heart—not a microphone, platform, or performance.
For the complete experience, we recommend pairing this Teacher's Guide with The Surrendered Worshipper 7-Day Heart Study. The individual study prepares each participant for the seven weekly team discussions led by the Teacher's Guide.
This 12-page resource provides seven structured teaching sessions to help you lead your team beyond musical preparation into spiritual development.
Each session includes:
✔️ Clear Teaching Objectives — Keep your devotional conversations focused and purposeful.
✔️ Biblical Teaching Points — Reinforce foundational principles of authentic worship.
✔️ Easy-to-Follow Teaching Outlines — Lead meaningful discussions without extensive preparation.
✔️ Interactive Team Activations — Encourage prayer, reflection, accountability, and spiritual connection.
✔️ A Flexible 7-Week Teaching Plan — Incorporate 10–15 minutes of spiritual development into your existing rehearsal schedule.
