What Are Leaders Saying?

"When I began a search for someone to mentor Quinton, our young new worship leader, I was thrilled to learn that Paul was available. Paul is a natural teacher, communicator and encourager, as well as a master worship and team leader. It was quickly apparent that our worship leader was learning and growing in amazing ways through his relationship with Paul. He developed skills such as how to lead an effective rehearsal, how to communicate with musicians and singers, how to be confident and energetic on the platform, and how to transition effectively between worship elements. Paul was especially helpful in developing team leadership skills, and it was exciting to see the entire worship team benefit from his coaching because our worship leader was not only learning these skills himself, he was successfully passing them on to our team! I highly recommend Paul for worship ministry mentoring and development. He's the real deal and your entire congregation will benefit from his work with your worship team and staff."

WORSHIP LEADER TESTIMONIALS

“Paul has a unique ability to draw you into God's story; while singing your story. This helps worship leaders sing from a place of experience, faith, and knowledge, instead of performance. Paul has mentored me into being a relational worship leader...."

“Paul inspires me to make great music. He showed me that it’s not necessarily about the notes on the page, but more about communicating the message of the song with fresh pictures. Every time I play or write music now I try to create an experience so that it’s not just another nice song. Many thanks, Maestro!”
