The Worship Community.Com (TWC) is a grass-roots community of worship leaders, artists, singers, musicians, and technicians from all over the world. January 12th they launch “Pure Praise” and online Bible Study lasting 9 weeks. Each day people from all over the world will share their thoughts on a daily devotional and then participate in the group discussions each week – as a group of united worshipers on The Worship Community in the forums.
“The goal of this study is not to help us fall more in love with worship. Rather, these daily, intimate encounters with God can help us fall more in love with our Father – which is the very essence of biblical worship”. (Darlene Zscheck, Hillsong Church, Australia)
TWC was launched in the Spring of 2007 by Fred McKinnon, a worship pastor and e-business owner. Fred has been involved in bring worship “online” for years, with the original HighestPraise.Com site that was offering free downloads of original worship music more than decade ago. He continues to blog about worship, ministry, and leadership each week at www.fredmckinnon.com.
“Version 1″ of TWC launched with public forums for discussions about worship, technology, songs, and planning. “Version 2″ of TWC launched in July 2008 with the new “e-zine” format including articles, how-to, reviews, featured videos, and interactive discussions.
One of the things that sets The Worship Community.Com apart is the user-generated nature of the content. The articles are written by a long list of contributors from all over the world who are “in the trenches” …. leading worship in small, medium, and large churches. Online technology provides a way for these worship leaders and worshipers to interact with each other regardless of time / space limitations.
