What we do
Songs2Serve helps people from different cultures to worship God together in unity, while expressing their variety in race and tongue so that people can meet Jesus in the language and music of their hearts.
We do that by resourcing, inspiring and training intercultural churches and networks.
Resourcing – our song collection
Inspiration – the Songs2Serve band (or partners)
Training – Online and offline
We’re steadily building up a collection of songs that we are translating from the different cultures.
Together with a team we call our co-creators, existing of musicians, song writers, worship leaders, and pastors we are compiling a song collection to help intercultural churches. We translate, compose and arrange music from different cultures so that it is fitting for our churches. We love it when the origin of these songs is diverse. Song collection
Locally Songs2Serve organizes its training day, (or ‘training the trainers’ day) in a local network. We want to inspire and equip people to use intercultural worship and grow in the ability to take other people along with them.
On this day, worship leaders, musicians, and church leaders come together. Experienced musicians are invited, to train the participants in small groups.
Topics covered could be vision building, playing intercultural songs, band coaching, vocal coaching, and more.
Go to the event page to learn about coming training days.
We have developed online and offline training about intercultural worship that we can offer in a tailor made format.
We have trained many churches by now, in many different ways. From one hour or one day to a journey of several moments during some months, with one church.
We could also combine it with a Sunday worship, to inspire the whole church.
We recommend a day of training together with the worship teams and the leadership of the church, to get the intercultural worship journey started.
