The Ultimate Worship Leader Resource Combination

Worship leaders are always on the hunt for the latest worship resources from which artist is putting out the best useable songs to what the best software is for projecting song lyrics on the screen during services. First, note that all of us that serve in this vital role of the church worship leader should ALWAYS be striving to improve... not only ourselves, but in making the overall worship ministry as effective as possible. Second, I want to bring to your attention a killer combination of resources that will take your worship ministry to the next level.

What is this power-packed combo? The OnSong app for iPad along with a chord chart subscription from WorshipReady.com! Both of these resources are fabulous on their own... but when you put them together, it takes everything to the next level! Of course, there are many other great resources out there for planning, projection, etc, but let's look a little deeper at why these two resources are absolute must-haves...

WorshipReady.com -

Although one of the newest worship chord chart resources online, it is proving itself to be the most accurate and reliable. The site is growing almost daily with a well-rounded assortment of the latest contemporary worship charts along with older "classics" and some gospel-style charts also! WorshipReady charts are guaranteed to be accurate, covering the specified recording exactly as you hear it with correct chords, chord placement with lyrics, intros/outros, instrumentals, BPM, time signature, copyright info, etc.

In addition to the high quality charts already provided, the site features a user-driven request feature that makes the availability of chord charts unlimited! If it's not already available, they will chart it for you, in the key you want, and have it ready within a few days... complete with an OnSong formatted version. This means that the catalog is virtually unlimited and is driven by YOU, the worship leader, as opposed to being limited to a collection of pre-selected charts and artists. It's like having your own music director or assistant on staff!

If you do not have a WorshipReady.com subscription yet, check out the different plans that are available and sign up for the one that fits your needs the best!

OnSong App -

When the iPad first came out, I was debating spending the money on one, although I knew I could use it for multiple things. Then someone pointed me towards the OnSong app. Decision made... I was getting an iPad... if for no other reason than to use OnSong! For a one-time $7.99 app purchase, you can't go wrong. They could move that decimal point to the right and it would still be worth it!

You can find more info, video tutorials and more on their website www.OnSongApp.com. In a nutshell though, this app will allow you to finally ditch that big binder you've been carrying around for years and throwing out your back. All of your existing PDF and Word document chord chart files can be imported into OnSong and viewed as-is. Then when you convert or import charts in the OnSong format (ChordPro basically), you get the full power of the app including key changes with a quick swipe of your finger! Build your set lists, share songs (or sets) with your team via bluetooth, control other team members iPads with yours so everyone sees the same thing, use the built-in metronome, and much more with this priceless iPad app!

Even Better Together -

The reason why WorshipReady.com charts combined with OnSong is so powerful is that WorshipReady is the only provider of quality OnSong-formatted chord charts! You don't have to waste time fixing poorly made charts that are full of incorrect and misplaced chords, spelling errors, missing instrumentals and all of the other characteristics that drive you insane week to week as you download charts from other online sources. Using iTunes file sharing or Dropbox, you can easily download the OnSong chart from WorshipReady.com and then import it into your iPad. Having the charts already in the OnSong format, you don't need to do any converting... just use it!

Both of these resources are driven by people that are also active worship leaders themselves, so you know the ongoing direction and development will be right on target with where it should be! Get these two resources today and join the rest of us who are already enjoying the next level!
