Release the poets in your midst, those who have a gift for writing songs for worship (even if they don’t know it). There are those in your congregation that can translate God’s work among you into song. A songwriting community will reflect Christ and also create a sense of belonging and family for the artists among you. There are different models with one that will match your congregational style. Gather to explore the basics of how to create a place for those new to songwriting and communities of practice and at the same time provide a space for the accomplished and advanced hymn writer to share their creative vision and grow through the support and wisdom of others like them.
