It’s a constant thing to remember this as a team member – we are not invisible simply because we are not singing, playing, speaking, getting a camera shot, etc… If we’re on the platform, we need to honor the moment and pay attention to what is going on. Be a big boy or girl, and don’t be a distraction. Don’t fiddle with instruments, personal monitors or itchy body parts – you may be itchy, but you’ll survive for a couple of minutes… I ask for the forgiveness of Mr. D for using him in this photo – I wish I could have found the one where I sang as part of the choir at a Willow Creek Leadership Summit… in the shot, the entire choir is focused on what’s happening on – except me, who the photo shows gazing in the complete opposite direction for no apparent reason!

Hmmm - well, let's see...
I'm a Christian, a husband, a dad, a son, a pastor, a consultant, a musician, a writer, and bits and pieces of a bunch of other things. My work life has followed three main phases - business to teaching to church. I was the Weekend Services Pastor for nine years at Northview Church, an awesome church in the Indianapolis suburbs. I used to work for Willow Creek, another awesome church in the Chicago area. Plus I've written for various magazines and websites, and other freelancy sorts of things... My life mission is to help the church be as excellent as it can be.
Oh yeah - the name's Greg. Greg Wallace. But not the race car driver or the major league pitcher or the British celebrity chef. Just the creative worship guy. Hi.
It's my hope that these ideas, musings, rants, raves, etc... will inspire you. They're just my opinions - but again, I hope that they'll help to inspire you. Because the church really, really needs inspired creative types. If you're a creative type (and most people are, deep-down), ask God for help. Then take any ideas that are useful to you - borrow them, nab them, use them, adapt them - and make them into something greater...
You can head over to my Instagram site for an abundance of shorter posts: creativeworshipideas. If you're looking for consulting - especially on weekend services, team leadership or multi-site strategies - I'd love to help. Just message me here, and I'll be in touch - Greg
