Overflow 2.0 – November 6th-7th, 2026

Grow in your practical skills of Keyboard for worship. Some knowledge of piano is an asset in this workshop.

This workshop is geared for Worship Leaders to increase their comfort in using Planning Center as a tool for planning and preparation when leading a team. Learning something new can bring challenges, but the reward is in providing communication and supportive resources for your team as they serve the Lord in worship ministry. Sit down with Worship Pastor Chris Grieger, from Kilcona Park Alliance Church, and learn how to utilize Planning Centre efficiently for both yourself and your team members. Participants are encouraged to bring a laptop or tablet, to explore Planning Center as a group. 

We will dive into the different types of Church media available (Photography, Videography, Content Creation), what makes a good candid photo within a Church context, and go over practical principles of photo/video composition, and how our media giftings can tell a story and be worship to God. Open to anyone interested in learning more about Church Media, regardless of experience.

In this workshop we will dive into a step by step process to help you prepare and lead worship on a Sunday morning. We will also share tips on creating space for the Holy Spirit to intervene spontaneously.  There will be examples, demonstrations and opportunities to put this learning into practice.

This workshop is open to anyone who is currently a worship leader or who aspires to be a worship leader as well as to those singers who want more practice in prophetic/spontaneous singing.

In this two-part workshop, we will spend time receiving training on our specific audio equipment for a Sunday morning, growing in our technical skills. Great for all current and interested Audio + Tech volunteers.

The purpose of this workshop is to explore the important role that drums/percussion have in
the context of corporate worship, and how the drummer fits into the Sunday morning worship
team. Here are some of the areas I am planning to have discussion/teaching on:

• We will have a brief look/reflection on the role drums and percussion have
  Biblically/theologically (its uses in worship/singing) and how Scripture informs the
  ways we can think about drumming and its purpose in modern worship contexts.

• We will spend time thinking about how the drum kit can be used to contribute to
  worship music and enhance the structure of songs, beyond the basic notion of the
  drummer being the “time keeper” or “metronome” for a team.

• We will also spend time looking at practical tools/strategies that can be used when
  practicing drums and preparing for Sunday mornings, as well as how to be an
  effective contributor to any team (playing/blending well with other members and
  following/complimenting the worship team leader’s vision for a song).

• There may be incorporation of videos of worship songs that can highlight different
  drumming styles/approaches, which will provide emphasis on the importance of
  listening and learning attentively to recordings in order to pick up new rhythmic ideas.

• Throughout the workshop there will be times for discussion/questions-asking, which
  will allow for the direction to go in ways that most benefit the participants present.

The content of this workshop is meant to be applicable to drummers of any skill level, and
doesn’t exclude non-drummers if someone is wanting to learn more about the topic! Its
primary goal is also not meant to go very heavy on teaching or improving technical
proficiency in drumming. Rather, its aim is to discuss the ways we can best employ the
drumming skills we already have into something that can effectively contribute to any team
we are playing on
