About
Our Mission
Encouraging leaders of worship with confessionally Lutheran, contextually artistic, and gospel-rooted resources and experiences.
Who We Are
On the campus of Concordia University Irvine, CWL partners with the music and theology faculties to train and equip the next-generation of worship arts leaders and church musicians through the Director of Parish Music Minor. At the core of our work, however, is the commitment to support church leaders and songwriters currently serving in church contexts through various initiatives.
The 3 Cores
We strongly believe that there are three core competencies of worship arts ministry that should be embraced, practiced, and nurtured. They are:
Worship Theology
Ministry Leadership
Practical Skills
CWL Initiatives
There are many ways that CWL connects leaders of worship to sources of empowered learning, experiences of common support, and modes of professional inspiration. We hope you find something here that you can join us in and be encouraged by.
Support CWL
Any donations made to the Center for Worship Leadership will be used to further equip and encourage leaders of worship with confessionally Lutheran, contextually artistic, and gospel-rooted resources and experiences.
