Interactive Worship Leaders Unite Online
The Worship Community.Com (TWC) is a grass-roots community of worship leaders, artists, singers, musicians, and technicians from all over the world.
TWC was launched in the Spring of 2007 by Fred McKinnon, a worship pastor and small business owner. Fred has been involved in bring worship “online” for years, with the original HighestPraise.Com site that was offering free downloads of original worship music more than decade ago. He continues to blog about worship, ministry, and leadership each week at his site.
TWC launched with public forums for discussions about worship, technology, songs, and planning. A newer version of TWC launched in July 2008 with the new “e-zine” format including articles, how-to, reviews, featured videos, and interactive discussions.
One of the things that sets The Worship Community.Com apart is the grass-roots nature of the content. The articles are written by contributors from all over the world who are “in the trenches” …. leading worship in small, medium, and large churches. TWC combines exclusive content with re-published articles from what we discover as “the best of” from worship and ministry-related blogs, discussion forums, and resources.
