The Liturgy Collective is a gathering for church musicians, pastors, and worshippers from across the globe. The focus of the event is “Rest, Connection, and Growth.” The organizers believe that these are essential elements for healthy and vibrant worship. The event will offer opportunities for participants to rest, connect with others, and grow in their understanding of worship.

Tim Nicholson: This gathering began in 2021 to create community, fellowship, and rest for church musicians, pastors, and worshippers. In our very first session in our first year, Dr. Curt Thompson challenged us to put ourselves and our congregations “In the path on oncoming beauty”. This has become a sort of unofficial mission statement for Liturgy Collective. We try to put worship leaders, pastors, and church musicians in the path on oncoming beauty through curating worship services in a range of styles, slow experiences with art and music, content with thought leaders from across the country, and shared meals to foster new and old friendships. The conference is intentionally small to help foster community.

The event will feature a variety of speakers, workshops, and performances. Speakers will include Bryan Chapell, Steve Guthrie, Kevin Twit, Sandra McCracken, Zac Hicks, Scotty Smith, and more! Workshops will cover topics such as leading worship, writing music, and using technology in worship.

“I personally loved attending a conference that had a manageable size of people so there was less of an overwhelming factor and we could all focus on the incredible content. I’m floored at how well done it was. Thank you so much!”
