What is WALi?

The Worship Arts Leader initiative (WALi) is a community-building initiative of Concordia University Irvine’s Center for Worship Leadership (CWL) which, rooted in the Lutheran Confessions, harmonizes leaders across various contexts (whether it be traditional, contemporary, multi-ethnic, etc). WALi envisions a supportive and encouraging community of theologically faithful leaders engaged in contextual artistry throughout the LCMS.

WALi Summit

The Summit is a national conference created to promote connectivity with one another for shared learning, common support, and professional inspiration. It is intentionally designed to address the needs of worship arts ministry staff, volunteer leaders, team members, pastors and students preparing for church worker vocations. Join us September 30-October 2, 2025 at Woodbury Lutheran Church in Woodbury, MN for the 2025 WALi Summit.
