Worship Workshop
February 20-21, 2026
Redemption Song
Then Moses and the people of Israel sang this song to the LORD, saying,
“I will sing to the LORD, for he has triumphed gloriously;
the horse and his rider he has thrown into the sea.
The LORD is my strength and my song,
and he has become my salvation;
this is my God, and I will praise him,
my father’s God, and I will exalt him. – Exodus 15:1–2 (ESV)
What should the church sing when we gather together?
Are there principles that apply in every church context, style, and culture?
How do we remain faithful in leading our congregations in song?
Join us on Friday and Saturday, February 20-21, 2026 for this worship workshop as we look at the blueprint given to us in one of the most ancient songs of the Bible, the Song of Moses.
Whether we sing, play, lead in song, or serve behind the scenes, we want to remain faithful to steward His truth as revealed in Scripture. Our prayer and aim is that you and your team would be equipped, refreshed, and encouraged to steward well the gifts that God has given us.
No matter the style of music used in worship in your church, or your church culture or background, we invite you to join us at Trinity Bible Church for this special event of training and encouragement. We’ll also have practical training workshops with our clinicians to freshen our musical skills, encourage our tech teams, teach us to shepherd our music teams, and focus on how we prepare to lead with excellence in our Sunday services.
Who is this workshop for?
Anyone can attend (13 and up), but the sessions will be geared towards church music team members and leaders. Added this year: a special breakout track for tech teams.

Vocalists, instrumentalists, church pastors/elders (those that oversee the music ministries in your church), and Tech Teams (Sound/AV).
