Worship Where You're Planted : A Primer for the Local Church Worship Leader

Leading others in worship is a rewarding ministry, but it can also be a difficult ministry. Sometimes, the tension of worship styles, tones, and skills overcomes the meaning and message behind worship and communion with God. When a church is in the middle of this tension, it is often a struggle to find the balance between who and what God called us to be and the constantly changing demands of worship ministry.Worship Where You're Planted seeks to recognize and respond to the situations that worship leaders encounter. Through exploration and insight, author Dave Clark tackles issues such as transitioning between worship leaders, navigating between traditional and contemporary music styles, and building rapport with the congregation. With wisdom and understanding, Clark helps small and midsize churches find comfort and connection as they lead their congregations in worship.

Dave Clark's songwriting credits cross musical boundaries, from contemporary Christian to southern gospel, and include songs recorded by Larnelle Harris, Sandi Patti, Steve Green, 4HIM, Point of Grace, CeCe Winans, and many others. He has written more than thirty musicals and was recently recognized for his twenty-fifth number-one song. In 2009, Clark was honored with the Living Legend Award from ASCAP for his many accomplishments in the industry. Clark presently serves as Director of Creative Development, AR, and Publishing for Lillenas Publishing Company. He and his family live in Tennessee.
