About Living Liturgy
Living Liturgy exists to form worshippers and write new songs for the Church. We partner with local churches to discern what God is already forming in their communities and give it voice through song. Through formation, coaching, and collaborative songwriting, we equip worship leaders and songwriters to serve their church with clarity, depth, and faithfulness.
Our Story
Living Liturgy is a response to a growing sense that there are more songs stirring in the hearts of local worship leaders than are currently being written and received. Many worship leaders want to write original music but lack the formation, guidance, or collaborative support to carry that work forward. This is the gap we seek to bridge through everything we do.
More importantly, we believe God has more songs to reveal through his church that do not necessarily belong on the radio, major conference stages, or top streaming playlists, yet still have an important place in God’s kingdom. While transformational and widely shared songs can come from anywhere, our focus is not on industry strategy or platform building. We work directly with local churches to discern what God is already forming in their congregations and to give those realities voice through song. We want to cultivate the heart of worship, not manage the demands of a career path. Living Liturgy exists to raise up worship songwriting that flows from humble attentiveness to God rather than the pursuit of visibility.
This conviction is reflected in the name Living Liturgy. God often moves through the simplicity of local worship, and we believe worship deepens through attentive practice over time. These liturgies are living not because they are trendy, polished, or culturally optimized, but because they are shaped by Scripture, prayer, and responsiveness to the Spirit. As we partner with churches through formation, coaching, and collaborative songwriting, we are seeking to strengthen this kind of living worship at the local level.
Writing original worship songs is one expression of this vision, but the work reaches further than a single song. We have seen these practices reshape how worship leaders understand worship, creativity, and faithfulness. Over time, they begin to form how leaders listen, pray, and respond to God within their own communities. We want to invite you into that ongoing work.
