Any originally commented I clicked an -Notify me when young notes are added- checkbox and today each time a criticism is added I obtain four emails with the same statement. Is there any choice you may clear away me from that particular tune? Merit!

I have three thoughts:

1) I used to think that we should be at A+ on everything, but I don’t think that anymore.

2) Music is so personal, I don’t think we’ll ever find a way to rate it objectively.

3) Rather than “managing it,” I like to “rotate it” and let each leader be himself/herself. I celebrate the fact that not everyone does it like I do. Sometimes I watch others and I think “I don’t like this” but I just remember that very few people are like me. I think that rotation is the way we get closest to success on the widest scale, but the secret to rotation success is letting each leader be himself/herself.

Great question. We can’t improve if we aren’t aware of where improvement is need or possible.

Is that table in the right corner something you actually use in your evaluation, or no?

Let me gather some thoughts on this…

Good questions. I’m always considering the cringe or cheese factor, and comparing that to authenticity. I’d rather see authentic mistakes, than over produced worship. So whatever evaluation tools are used, it has to get at the authenticity of worship.

We have 4 leaders and rotate giving critical feedback to each other. We have an evaluation form, I can send you a copy if you want. Just email me.

It’s all about feelings. If it feels good, then it’s probably good.

I’ve found the stuff that Jordan has posted at Worship Trench the past couple of weeks to be very helpful. Actually last night we had a leaders’ meeting and worked through the ministry evaluation questions.

We don’t yet have a concrete rating system but here are some questions we ask after every week –

Did we encourage people to worship God?
Did we inspire people to worship God?
Did the service flow well as a whole?
Were there any distractions that could have been resolved?
