The purpose of Beyond4Walls is to provide mentoring, training, and support for songwriters, worshippers, worship leaders and artists:

  • - the worship songwriter who desires to minister through their gift of writing;
  • - the worshipper who desires to see Christian music make a difference at home and in the nations;
  • - the worship leader in a local church who desires to minister beyond the 4 walls of the church;
  • - the itinerant artist who still has an integral role in the local church.

Our goal is to help you fulfill your calling and destiny with the focus on edifying the body of Christ and glorifying God. At the Beyond4Walls Conference, we will help:

  1. - the worship leader who has a clear role in the local church but also a desire to move beyond the four walls of their local assembly gain a more mature understanding of how to balance their itinerant ministry with their rols in the local church;
  1. - the worshipper who desires to take the message of worship beyond the four walls of the church to the nations learn how to impact the world beyond your local church. Worship has such a universal message - that the message of Christ is essential to world peace - and we want to help expand the "big picture" of how worship and Christ-focused music can make a difference in any nation.;
  1. - Provide counsel and direction for the itinerant artist so that he/she will have a clear understanding of how to maintain a viable relationship with their local church;
  1. - the worship songwriter gain a deeper understanding of how to develop their gift of worship expression through the craft of songwriting. Participants will be given instruction on how to write effective congregational songs.

Additional workshops will be offered on recording and producing a CD; the role of the manager in the life of the touring artist; effective marketing of music online; techincal support including sound, lighting, and visual media.
