Grow Your Artists Spiritually

What are you doing to help the artists in your worship arts ministry grow? What are you doing to actively disciple your artists? While it's easier to hope artists land themselves in a solid small group, read their Bibles regularly and develop a deep prayer life, the reality of being a worship leader or arts leader is that if you are the leader then you are responsible for the spiritual growth of your volunteers. God has entrusted men and women into your spiritual care, and you cannot hope someone else in the church is doing your job.

It's your job to reach out to those who serve on your teams and help them discover how God wants them to grow. Here are a few ideas to get you started:

1. Pray regularly before rehearsals and weekend services.


2. Spend 10-15 minutes in the Bible together before each rehearsal.


3. Meet monthly with your teams to promote community, unity and spiritual growth.


4. Invite individuals to meet with you or their team shepherd whenever you see a spiritual need.


5. Write a blog or newsletter that includes spiritual direction.


6. Read a book as a team that promotes godly values and incorporates Christian character growth.


7. Invite team members to worship together during weekend services.


8. Serve as a team outside the auditorium from time to time.


9. Help each individual team member discover their next step or spiritual growth area for the year.


10. Grow yourself as a leader and share your personal areas of growth with the team.
    

Helping artists grow spiritually doesn't mean you need to complete an hour of Bible study each time you meet. But it does require you to build a culture of growth within your ministry. What's one thing you can do today to help your artists grow? Start now!
