How to Lead Worship for a small group without a guitar or piano
For nearly 20 years I have been training leaders to start and maintain cell groups or house churches. Most groups or churches feel that you must have a trained musician to lead worship for a cell group. This is a myth that churches fall into thinking that only a professional can lead a group of people to worship. In our cell groups, every person who attends takes a turn at leading worship following this very simple plan.
1. The potential worship leader must have a personal time of worship aside from the group meeting. During this time of personal worship make some notes on a favorite passage of scripture and songs that help you meditate and worship privately.
2. Make a mix cd of those favorite worship songs. We like to use 2-3 songs weekly for our cell group meeting.
3. Print out song sheets with the words of all the songs that you will be using while leading worship for your group.
4. Bring your cd or mp3 player to the group meeting or arrange with the host home or cell gathering what type of equipment they have to play your mix cd or mp3 list.
5. Arrive early to your cell group to insure all your song sheets and equipment is set up and working properly.
6. Once your group is ready for worship simply turn on your mix cd or mp3. It's usually better to play the music a little louder than normally so that people will not be intimidated by the sound of their own voice. Some people do not like the sound of their singing voice. To get the focus off of the music and musicality and onto actual worship, play your songs louder than you would for just yourself.
You don't need to have a great voice, years of practice or expertise of playing an instrument to lead worship for your cell or small group. This has worked for me for years. Take the focus off of the professional musician and make leadership attainable for anyone.
