The first hour is a session with your small group, while the second hour is a Master  worship leader training session taught by one of the Worship Circle coaches.

For 1 additional hour each month all Worship Circle Members will join Todd Fields and special guests to focus on developmental aspects of your worship leadership like learning to hear from God, crafting sets, service planning, verbal communication and other aspects of worship leadership.
