Quality Worship Leading

What is a Quality Worship Leader?

I believe that a quality worship leader has a variety of characteristics but I believe the most important one is selflessness. A worship leader has to be able not to think of oneself but rather on others, the ones they are leading. Worship leaders don't think of themselves and how they will be precieved by their audience but instead want to help lead others to God. That is the job of a worship leader. To lead others to God through music and their actions. Not only does their performance help lead others to christ but their actions do as well. A quality worship leader is not two faced and will still act as a servant to the Lord even off the stage. Their personality and actions should not change just because they are no longer leading worship but rather they are "leading worship everyday". I also believe a quality worship leader does not just think about the music they are performing. They should realize that it is not just about the music they perform but rather they are giving it all up to God, to give Him the glory. He is the one we serve and is our main priority, a quality worship leader does not just look out for themselves. Overall there are a lot of qualities a worship leader must have to a valuable worship leader but those are some a the qualities I find most important.

An Example of a Quality Worship Leader:

Matthew West is the perfect example of a quality worship leader. West is an American Contemporary Christian musician, singer songwriter and actor. He has released five studio albums and is known for his songs "More", "You Are Everything", and "The Motions".In addition to his main solo career, West has worked as a songwriter for many Christian musicians and groups such as Point of Grace, Mandisa, Natalie Grant, and Casting Crowns, as well as mainstream country acts, Rascal Flatts, Billy Ray Cyrus, and Vince Gill. Besides his impressive credentials he embodies all the amazing qualities a good worship leader would have. He is so selfless that he decided to write an album about other people's stories and he dedicated the entire album to them. He always dedicates everything he has to God and always is so thankful for all of his success.
