Worship Leader Blog

I've mentioned this site before on this blog, but if you haven't checked out Chris Tomlin's worship leader site, WorshipFrequency.com, go take a look. You'll find an interesting site with articles for worship leaders, charts and tabs for many Tomlin songs, and other resources of interest to worship leaders. The last time I looked at it, the site was just being launched and hadn't been fleshed out yet, but in the last few months, the site has grown and flourished, and it seems to be getting a lot of traffic.

There's a Video section that contains brief instructional videos from members of the band--that's pretty cool. In the Charts section you'll find several charts (with chords) that you can download or print.

The "Song Studies" section contains articles that amount to Bible studies related to certain songs. The "Frequent Thoughts" section is a collection of articles by worship leaders about worship and leading worship. Some authors you've heard of are included here, like Paul Baloche and Matt Redman, plus some you may not have heard of like David Nasser.

The site is attractive and cool to look at, but I did notice some links that didn't always work, so clearly they've got some work to do in the area of usability, but I'm sure they'll get it all worked out.

There is a message board area, as well, and this may be the hidden gem on this site--thousands of postings from worship leaders engaged in discussions of the art and craft of leading worship.

If you register (it's free), you'll also have access to information about upcoming concerts and pre-concert worship leader events.

Chris Tomlin has had a lot of success as a worship leader, and this site seems to be a wonderful way for him to "give back" to the worship leader community. You'll want to check this one out. A quick usability note--if you have pop-ups disabled (as I typically do with Firefox) you'll want to enable them for this site. That's a mild annoyance for me (because I generally hate pop-ups), but at several places on the site, you'll need to be willing to deal with this.
