ABOUT GWI

The Global Worship Initiative is a visionary plan that will bring immense value to the local church.

With GWI, we will disciple worshipers to inspire transformative, creative worship. We believe that developing worship leaders–not just worship music–is of the utmost importance. In this way, GWI is more than just a program or a department; it's a promise. A promise to direct our time, energy, and resources to empowering and equipping the worshipers who faithfully serve on the frontlines of our churches every week.

To your worship pastors, musicians, singers and songwriters we are excited to offer much needed support in the form of; discipleship to ensure a healthy spiritual life, theological education to promote doctrinally-sound song choices, administrative training to enhance ministry operations in your churches, and leadership coaching to foster healthy cultures in our communities

GWI serves as a gathering place for our worshipers–both in-person and online. This community will not only connect them with each other, but with a broader network of GWI-approved counselors, instructors, technology experts, and more.

We are also proud to announce that our renewed vision encompasses the expansion of Spirit Sound Music Group. With a legacy spanning decades, including the production of one of the most popular hymnals ever published and a catalog of over 16,000 published songs, Spirit Sound has undeniably enriched the Church of God.

GWI is a catalyst for innovation, providing unparalleled opportunities for growth and creativity within our worship and arts communities. This ministry is not merely about developing products or programs; it's about developing people. This initiative will transform hearts, inspire our global church, and ultimately glorify God. Now is the time to unite our churches in worshiping together in spirit and in truth.

Nothing brings me more joy than sharing with you today this powerful declaration: the Church of God is united in passion, united in purpose, and with the Global Worship Initiative, we will once again be united in praise.
