The Worship Leader Network aims to renew practices of worship in Christian communities, Christians in the arts of worship, with a special focus on music and the unique role of hymns and songs in building community and nourishing faith.
The WL Network offers a space in which the worship leaders of tomorrow can connect with each other, collaborate and create in worship design, and circulate ideas, songs, and best practices through the global Christian community.
