A SongShare Worship Focus Retreat
March 31–April 3, 2027
Chattanooga, Tennessee area · Facilitated by Jess
WRITING WORSHIP SONGS WITH PURPOSE, CREATIVITY, AND INTENTION.
Writing Worship is a small, intentional songwriting retreat focused on growing in the craft of writing worship music. We'll consider what makes a song right for congregational singing, an artist or recording, or a personal moment of worship. We'll explore theology, creativity, lyrical perspective, musical accessibility, and how to write songs that serve the Church without sacrificing originality. Together, we'll learn, collaborate, share songs, receive feedback, and create with purpose.
This retreat welcomes writers at all skill levels, but beginners should already understand basic songwriting concepts. This is not an introductory songwriting workshop. It will be heavily geared towards worship leaders in a few conversations.
