A normal part of our process is to get feedback on ses- sions through the Worship 4:24 app. Attendees can pro- vide feedback on each session with comments for our team to review. This year, we received 207 feedback submissions, with an average event rating of 4.6 out of 5.

It’s about the mission: equipping our worship leaders and teams to lead worship with passion and excellence so our churches grow in their love for Jesus and reach their community with the gospel. If you didn’t come this year, please consider sending at least one person from your church to Worship 4:24 next year - and register early! It will impact your worship ministry.
