Fellowship Biennial Convocation

Convocation attendees who participate in Pre-event Intensive Seminars are blessed to be a blessing.

When you register to take part in one of these exciting seminars, you receive the opportunity for small group instruction from one of our gifted leaders in the choral, dance, or handbell focus areas of worship arts. This rehearsal time, and the attention to technique which it provides, not only helps you live into your gifts, but equips you with the knowledge and confidence to help others learn. These are techniques that you can take back to your local churches and communities to help provide transformative worship experiences in your contexts.

Your time in these seminars is also a blessing to all who will join us in Dallas for Convocation 2023: For Such a Time as This. Those who sign up for the choral and handbell intensives will participate in worship services throughout the week.

As we continue to prepare for Fellowship Biennial Convocation 2023: For Such a Time as This, we are blessed to have Choristers Guild staff joining us to lead two seminars which will offer resources, tips, and tricks for working with children's choirs. Having the Choristers Guild staff join us as we partner with Perkins School of Theology in Dallas, TX is yet another example of how collaboration helps us cultivate and equip worship artists to offer transformative worship experiences in local churches and communities across the country and around the world.

One of the wonderful things about our Fellowship Convocation is the commitment of each event's design team to move our Biennial Convocation to a new city around the United States, connecting and bringing together worship artists from many different places. We are thrilled to be in fellowship with you, and to share time together in the wonderful city of Dallas, TX; where we will gather July 10th -13th, for our 2023 Convocation: For Such a Time as This. The last time that our Fellowship Convocation was held in Dallas, and in partnership with Perkins School of Theology - Southern Methodist University, was in 1983, and we are excited to return! Take a few moments to learn more about the exciting things Dallas has to offer!

The Fellowship of Worship Artists is very excited to partner with Highland Park United Methodist Church (HPUMC) as one of our two major event venues for Convocation 2023.

When you attend Convocation this summer, you will get to experience worship in various spaces at Highland Park. Highlights will include reveling in the glory of the traditional sanctuary's cathedral-esque acoustics, as our Convocation Choir sings and HPUMC's Porter Memorial Carillon rings God’s praise; experiencing the modern worship zone, Cornerstone; beautiful music on the organ; and so much more.

Highland Park has lent itself as a beacon of hospitality to The Fellowship and will also be the site of multiple meals together as well as our afternoon seminars. We are looking forward to our time with HPUMC and to worshiping together with you.

When we meet in July for Convocation 2023, we have the opportunity to learn from one another, share resources, foster new connections, and multiply the gifts we have been given to further enable transformative worship experiences in our local churches and communities.

This collaborative nature is one of the hallmarks of The Fellowship of Worship Artists, and is being lived into in new ways through our partnership with Perkins School of Theology - Southern Methodist University. To tell us more about the exciting possibilities that stem from bringing our Fellowship members into relationship with the staff and students of Perkins, we offer you a short video from Rev. Dr. Jay Regennitter and Dr. Marcell Silva Steuernagel.
