As for unbelievers … well, in their world, when you hear music, you clap, sing along, dance, party … they haven’t necessarily been submersed in all the “what you do and what you don’t do” church culture. Believers, especially “churched” ones steeped in tradition, can be the least involved.

I’ve sometimes found the opposite to be true.

Truthfully, the unbeliever and the believer are both facing the same issues, the same struggles … and as we worship, we relate to all of them. On the other hand - there is wisdom in how you lead, how you communicate, etc. They will sense the truth … I’d rather not water down the corporate worship experiece … it’s our ONLY chance for the Belivers to gather and worship God. Great question … I focus on authentic worship, believing that in doing so, this will attract someone who is genuinely seeking. Question: How do YOU engage the Christian AND the unbeliever in worship? You can leave a comment by clicking here. Rather than offering some tips, let’s figure this out together. If their hearts have not been made alive in Jesus, how can they?ĭo you ignore them and serve your “fans” or reach them somehow? It shows that Christians are maturing into passionate worshipers of the living God.īut what you say to a Christian is a lot different than what you’d say to an unbeliever. I think it’s a beautiful thing to have passionate Christians and unbelievers in the same room. I’d rather not address that group in this post. Some have a room full of staunch, resistant Christians who refuse to engage. Others have a mix of Christians and unbelievers. Some regularly lead a room full of mature believers who go after God in worship.

I’ve had conversations with other worship leaders about this. I believe the answer to this question is one of the most important facets of a worship leader’s ministry. Worship Leader, how do you manage this tension? What do you do when you are faced with a room of passionate Christians AND clueless unbelievers?
