As the new year begins, it’s a great time to remind and celebrate where the church has been. “Year-in-review” videos are a useful tool, especially if they are focused the people of the church serving, being baptized, etc…, rather than just the staff. It’s also a good time to remind people of what was learned over the course of the year in sermons/messages via social media. I’ve even seen churches that have sermon series visuals on the wall as reminders. It’s the perfect chance to point folks towards sermons archived on your website. #creativeworshipideasAs the new year begins, it’s a great time to remind and celebrate where the church has been. “Year-in-review” videos are a useful tool, especially if they are focused the people of the church serving, being baptized, etc…, rather than just the staff.

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
