Past Conferences

Each WorshipGod Conference features main sessions that address a specific theme and seminars that speak to issues of theology, the heart, leadership and music skills. At past conferences we’ve offered seminars tailored towards pastors, worship leaders, instrumentalists, vocalists, songwriters, tech teams, women, children, and general audiences. Since we can’t offer all the seminars at every conference, we’ve compiled a list below of all the main sessions from past conferences and many of the seminars.
