How to Make Worship More Engaging

Once you have picked out some favorite worship songs, it’s time to get started on planning. Even the most devoted congregation can struggle if they are led by a worship team that’s constantly making mistakes mid-song. Take the time to practice every song regularly, so the praise and worship team can lead the audience seamlessly.

It’s also important to avoid making the mistake of assuming that everyone will know the lyrics. Even though the songs on this list are very common, newcomers might not know the words. To avoid making anyone feel left out, try to include a list of lyrics, so people can follow along. A simple printed document can be enough for churches with a low budget. However, those who have the funds for PowerPoint and other audiovisual presentations may want to create a sing-along video everyone can follow.

These songs are all tried-and-true favorites that are sure to help the audience feel closer to God. Their blend of traditional lyrics and catchy tunes make people excited for worship time.
