Equipping worshipers

Worship Matters

It really does. It’s why we were created. And so we would do well to learn about matters of worship.

My name is Joel. I’m a worship pastor based in Melbourne, Australia, and I’m passionate about teaching and training worshipers.

I’ve been serving on worship teams for somewhere near 30 years now, and although I’m happy to talk about leading a worship team and the art and craft of worship in a corporate setting, my real passion is to impart something deeper.

There are so many incredible resources out there that will equip you in the mechanics of praise and worship. The goal of Worship Matters is to help you discover the rich treasures of worship buried in Scripture.

Whether you’re a worship pastor, song leader, musician, music director, or simply someone who wants to grow in Biblical knowledge and understanding of worship, I pray that this resource will enrich your life of worship and equip your worship ministry.

I love training worship teams, so if you’d like me to speak at your church or team night, please get in touch!
