ABOUT
What is the purpose of the gathering? And what is the place of music in our services… and in our lives? More than ever, we need to be clear on what the Bible has to say about singing and its purpose in our gatherings. At this year's Word In Song Conference, we'll be thinking about how to understand and shape God-honouring, edifying, and transformative gatherings as we lead and sing. We will be offering a number of practical seminars to help leaders, musicians and sound technicians grow and develop their skills and gifts. As always, we want you to be equipped and encouraged by God's word, and to leave with useful and creative skills and ideas for your music ministry. Come and join us for a fun and foundational day of training for your church music team!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

To arrange for a unique code for your group so that you can all sign up individually at a discounted rate, you can contact us at hello@emumusic.com.
2. Who is this day useful for?
Every member of a church music team, especially those starting out in this ministry. At nearly every conference we meet someone who tells us they wish they had brought the whole team along - as listening and learning together makes the biggest difference back in your church.
Yes! The ministry of the word in song flourishes when it deliberately complements the spoken word. As the leader of the congregation's praise under Jesus, we hope you'll see the responsibility and joy of overseeing the music ministry at your church. What's more, your musicians will find it a great encouragement to see you supporting their ministry.
4. I've been doing music for many years. Will I learn anything new?
Most definitely. Many people come to Word In Song simply for the refreshment, encouragement and fellowship with those doing similar ministry.
5. We are a small church with few resources - will this day be relevant?
Yes! We love helping smaller churches work out how to effectively use their resources to lead singing. There will be lots of opportunities for applying biblical and practical principles to every context.
6. Will this be a Covid compliant event?
Yes. Australian Government advice is that masks are no longer required indoor gatherings or for singing. However, please do still wear a mask if you would prefer.
