I love our worship team at Sunridge Church! This rare behind the scenes footage shows how much fun we really have each week! These are servants who put in hours and dedicate much so that hundreds can worship. The funniest thing is the last words on the on the tape…don’t miss that.

Ministry Essentials: What are you going to stop doing?
Being successful at anything is not just about doing something great and excelling at it, but it’s also not letting yourself get burdened by the temptation of trying to do everything great. A great case study for this is In-N-Out Burger. They do one, maybe 2 things, but they do it so well they can’t […]

Sunday, March 29, 2009: Dealing With Complaints
Wow,
What an amazing worship set this morning. You can zoom over to richkirkpatrick.com to see the worship set-list. Guest worship leader David Upton was such a pleasure to have back in town.

Have you seen the new ASIMO; that little miracle-powered […]
Gear for singers: how investing in good equipment is not just for the band!
As a member of the typical worship team, singers often rely on the gear presented to them by the situation. I have served in church plants in school cafeterias and in new worship houses that seat over 2,000. Either way, the issue of gear for any musician is important. One thing I have learned: If […]

Sunday Morning Update: A Leadership Failure
This morning was one kicking time of worship. One of the other sound mixers looked back at me in service, smiled and gave me a thumbs up. And one of the other sound mixers (who is very tone picky) loved it. You can look at the set list this afternoon at www.richkirkpatrick.com
This morning was also […]
Sound Guy As A Worship Leader? Bah!
Many, I know, would scoff at the idea of the sound guy as being a worship leader. Several worship leaders I have known simply cannot envision this concept. They view the role of the sound mixer as being a servant to the band, a minister with the gift of helps – and geeky knowledge of […]
