TEN THOUSAND FATHERS & MOTHERS

We Nurture and Journey With Worship Leaders

At 10KFAM, we raise and release spiritual mothers and fathers to creatively shape the future of the church.

What is worship school

Worship School is our fully accredited, 18-month discipleship journey. It is a highly intentional season of deep relationship, accountability, and growth where we coach and walk with worship leaders who lead songs to become worship pastors who lead people. We’ve graduated 500 students who are presently located in nearly 20 countries. Our alumni are leading worship each weekend for more than a quarter of a million people around the world.

Success Stories

As a Senior Pastor of a local church for over 30 years, one of the things I’ve heard from other Senior Pastors is what we want in a Worship Leader. We want a Worship Leader that’s not just awesome musically and great from the performance perspective, but more importantly we want a person of character. I want a Worship Leader that’s sensitive to the Spirit of God, and in that, they can translate that in a worship service. I also want a Worship Leader that can build a team, and a sense of community. Not just great musicians and great vocalists, but great people that love God. 


One of the things I really appreciate about 10KFAM is that character and discipleship is really emphasized and that’s awesome because it helps people develop and grow to where they can take this wonderful gift of music and worship that God’s given them and they can package it in a discipleship person that’s able to lead others well. Not only their immediate worship team, but the church family and congregation. 


For the three from our congregation who have gone through 10KFAM, it’s been amazing for me as a Senior Pastor to see how they’ve developed…and that leadership translates into so many things! I can’t recommend 10KFAM enough. I’m so thankful as a Senior Pastor to 10KFAM for developing those we’ve sent.

Practical Tips for Spontaneous Worship (Part 1)

11.05.2024

How can I prepare for unplanned moments in worship?  I grew up in wildly Pentecostal and Charismatic environments. “Flowing” in and out of songs was normal for me – any moment anything could happen. But I’ve learned that wasn’t – and definitely isn’t – the case for most people. Many worship leaders are hungry to […]

5 Books for Worship Pastors

09.13.2024

In the age of Amazon, it’s difficult to know what books are worth reading and which aren’t. A simple search for books with “worship” in the title will produce everything from daily devotionals to scholarly monographs to “how to” handbooks. No one is an authority on all “worship books,” but I’ve read my fair share […]

3 Characteristics of a Healthy Ministry Team

08.14.2024

If we’ve learned anything by paying attention to the scandals unveiled in the last 10 years it is that health cannot be determined by signs of external success. Systems and organizations are too complex to base assumptions about their health from visible phenomena alone. I have been a part of ministries that appeared to be […]

The Curse Is Broken

07.17.2024

This song was birthed out of my greatest inner healing so far. As is often the case, my wound traced back to my childhood. My parents had a rocky relationship. They separated when I was 6 and then divorced when I was 7. I lived with my mom, and as a highly sensitive person, I […]

3 Ways to Design a Better Worship Setlist

06.26.2024

When I first started leading worship in my teens and early twenties, my understanding of how to choose a worship setlist was something like: start fast and loud, end slow and low. Oh and pick songs that are in the same keys if possible. Simple! Well. That’s mostly because at that point in my life, […]

3 Ways to Increase Your Congregation’s Worship Engagement

05.28.2024

Recently I was talking with a worship pastor who wanted to increase his congregation’s engagement in worship. Most worship leaders that I know also want to increase the congregation’s engagement in worship. Why is that? In a perfect world it would be because we want the people under our care to be so deeply convinced […]
