You know, I’ve been guilty – as a worship team guy – in the past of feeling like we were the ones that “made the weekend happen.” That was pretty dumb. Our church has 4000-5000 people each weekend, and it’s not eight or nine worship team members that make it all happen. It’s techies. It’s Sunday School workers. It’s parking people. It’s ushers. It’s the people that fold the bulletins. It’s our Lead Pastor. It’s (very important) the person who brings the donuts. All these, and many, many more, work together to represent Jesus to a world that desperately needs to know Him.
So, the next time you’re dumb (like me), deflate a little bit and remember that the team is a lot bigger than we sometimes think… (BTW, these are some of our fantastic ushers)

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...
