When it comes to today's church, one thing is certain: worship is more than music! In this special two-day broadcast, CCN will host the second annual More Than Music conference that will both inspire and empower you to lead the kind of worship that transforms communities.
“Our culture continues to be filled with ever-increasing questions about the ‘whats, hows, whens, and wheres' of worship. But have you ever wondered what questions God might be asking about worship?” Says Pastor Scotty Smith of Christ Community Church in Nashville.
During these two broadcasts, pastoral and worship teams will spend time together to reflect upon our most eternal, momentous and privileged calling – the worship of the living God. What kind of worship is God seeking from us today? How do we become a woshipping community that pleasures His heart and honors His Name?

When you think worship, you think music. And that's a good thing … as long as you remember to think about technology as well!
In the second day of More Than Music 2005 , we'll take a unique look at technology from the vantage points of all teams involved. Production, pastoral, and worship teams will benefit from this powerful and relevant CCN broadcast.
During this highly practical program, pastors, worship leaders and technical teams will learn how to:
- create a partnership between the Senior Pastor, Worship Pastor and technical team
- build a team that understands the dynamics of relating together, while serving the church with excellence.
- integrate technology with worship.
- overcome technical challenges in applying technological innovations.
“Technology can create an environment conducive to worship or it can render a service unintelligible,” says Kent Morris, a pastor and a technical expert. “The difference in the two lies in a worship technician's ability to understand and control the audio, video, and lighting systems.”
This broadcast will provide you with an overview of media and its role, while providing the hands-on details needed to improve the technical side of your worship.
Discover and address the issues facing ministers who are confronted with technology's assault on traditional structure. And learn how to interpret technology's role and proper place in the church.
After all, worship is more than music.
