“Grant Norsworthy’s teaching and training on WORSHIP took our Worship Arts Ministries, Media Ministries and church to a deeper understanding of what true worship is. What Grant shares has been “road tested” in his own life and makes a connect with all who hear his compelling message.”
“At the heart of Grant’s message is the truth that musical worship is not a performance but a time to join as a congregation in praise to God.”
“I love the way Grant worked with our small church music teams!”
“We loved having Grant come to ROCC and share with our team! It was a great way to get everyone excited and better equipped to lead others in worship! Would highly recommend him coming to minister to your team!”
“I love what Grant’s doing with More Than Music Mentor. His passion and desire to affect culture is amazing!”
“Grant was able to pinpoint specific areas where each of our team members could improve. Some found this direct approach to be quite challenging, but – after taking his advice on board – those were the ones who made the biggest improvement and valued the time with Grant the most.”
“We were engaged from start to finish by Grant’s witty, genuine, and thoroughly informative style of communication. I continue to get comments from those who were in attendance that his workshop is still making an impact upon them and their families.”
“Awesome… This dude is like the worship whisperer!”
“The More Than Music Workshop that Grant taught a few years ago is still paying dividends in my music, worship, and leadership. Thanks for allowing God to use your gifts in such a tremendous way!”
“Grant was a TREMENDOUS asset to the conference. He is articulate, thoughtful and a great worship band technician. We had great feedback from our attendees, and I would highly commend him for your church worship program or as a conference speaker.”
“Whether you’re a big or small church, doing this or that musical genre, with an all-pro band or beginner volunteers, a big choir or one singer with an acoustic guitar, Grant’s laser-focused message will be of great benefit to your worship team.”
“It was a breath of fresh air…. would definitely want him back.”
“From just a couple of hours on Saturday night and then Sunday morning services, Grant effectively inspired greater musicianship, more authentic worship, and servant hearted attitudes in my people and in me.”
“A standout thought to me from Grant’s teaching was the need for our musicians to make ‘small musical sacrifices’ to prioritise the ‘higher joy’ of seeing our people more fully engaged in worship.”
“It was amazing! In over 30 years of running sound desks, I can’t remember such a high level of engagement from the congregation – worshipping God at the top of their lungs. I had to increase the volume from the PA to be heard above them!”
“Grant’s training is invaluable! By spanning both the musical technicalities and the spiritual attitudes of the praise team, he manages to bring everyone back to the foundational basics while inciting necessary growth.”
“Having Grant Norsworthy work with our band for two hours was the best investment we have made in our music ministry. We now have renewed focus and enthusiasm for serving our congregation and Him. Thank you, Grant!”
“Grant has an amazing understanding of the challenges facing a team that leads others in worship through music. He is able to offer solutions to these challenges through Scripture and inspiration.”
“I am truly touched by Grant’s humility and passion to lead people towards true worship.”
“You can’t help but see Grant’s heart for worshiping God and his passion for training church music teams. He will take your church band to a new level musically. And he’ll also inspire them to be better worshipers of Jesus.”
“Grant has a gift of working with worship teams, sound techs, and empowering them to be the best they can be. We have really grown as a team through his coaching.”
“We were left with a greater vision for our worship ministry, as well as some very concrete practical steps we were ready to take in the following months.”
“I love what Grant’s doing with More Than Music Mentor. This is extremely important stuff for ‘worship teams’ everywhere.”
“Having Grant come to our church to give a workshop gave the benefits of taking our entire team to a big conference! Everyone was immediately on board.”
“Right out of the gate Grant provided us with tools to improve our practice atmosphere, teamwork, and mechanics. He offered the right balance of humor, service, and leadership.”
“I have not found any other conference or class to be as simply profound and wholly practical as Grant’s More than a Music Mentor training. Within 2-3 weeks of implementing Grant’s ideas, we saw and heard a huge difference in our congregational singing. The Church singing loudly together is a beautiful thing to behold!”
“On Thursday I attended Grant Norsworthy’s class called ‘Crafting a Sound that Invites the Congregation’. The following Sunday at our church service we were able to apply the things that were taught and our congregation sang more than they ever have! We are very thankful!”
“Grant has helped our worship team understand their purpose and goal, then provided exceptional musical/vocal/tech coaching toward that end. We are looking forward to continuing our relationship with Grant in the future.”
“Seeing how Grant works with teams has inspired me to look differently at how I mentor my team and teach them. He has insight not only into the musical dynamics of a ‘worship team’, but into the spiritual motivations that drive what we all do.”
“Grant brought some amazing insight into the technical and spiritual aspects of leading people in congregational worship. Our teams were inspired and motivated by the ideas that he brought. We are so grateful for Grant’s input and his heart to equip the Body of Christ.”
“His coaching with my music team … struck just the right balance of practical and theological. His More Than Music Workshop was wonderful – disarming humor combined with timeless truths that centered us back on Christ and His mission in the world.”
“Our music team had the honor of spending a weekend with Grant, and his insight was much needed. He did a wonderful job of integrating the ‘why’ and the ‘how’ of our singing and playing. Our team benefited substantially from his visit.”
“Our team was so inspired by what we were able to accomplish together in the time we had with Grant.”
“Grant helped our team want to come together for the purpose of leading God’s people, rather than a bunch of soloists or loud musicians. We rehearsed Sunday very differently and it was a special time knowing everyone was part of a team preferring one another. Wow, what a difference!”
“I always learn so much from watching Grant lead. God has richly blessed him with the gift to draw people to God and to make musicians want to be better. Grant’s attention to detail and attentiveness to what the Spirit is doing in the room is awesome.”
“We went from having a congregation that was just listening to the worship set to one that is fully engaged, singing and connecting to what we are saying about God. It’s so great to hear everyone singing!”
“Within the course of a one hour workshop, Grant’s instruction gave worship leaders and church musicians vital tools to lead efficiently.”
“Grant Norsworthy is exceptionally gifted both as a practitioner and a teacher of the worshiping arts. As a longtime artist and worship leader myself, he has my highest recommendation.”
“Grant simply, genuinely, and authentically brings the best out of each individual he coaches.”
“Since the workshop, positive feedback has been flooding in about the music and how much more engaged people feel.”
“From sound guy, to musician, to vocalist, to director, Grant offers expert advice that provides easy and practical tips for the entire team.”
“From an audio engineer’s standpoint, what he brings just makes my job easier! Teams learn to play and sing together as one, instead of fighting for their own place. This results in a fuller, more engaging mix at a much more manageable volume.”
“Grant’s a passionate dude and some of it kinda rubbed off on me, haha! I realised that I’ve got lots to learn.”
“Want next-level musicianship and growing worshipers? Book Grant.”
“Our music/tech team is now at an entirely new level due to Grant’s encouragement.”
“Our More Than Music Workshop included real life examples that participants could immediately begin to implement into their worship teams. Well done Grant! I would recommend any church of any size to get Grant into their space.”
“Grant has a way of capturing your attention and helping you focus on what’s imperative about worship. Whether it’s singing a song, the spoken Word, or living a life of worship, he always strikes at the heart. The Lord will use Grant to bring change to your congregation.”
“The Saturday workshop was so very helpful! I learned things I had never heard anywhere else before and God moved so very powerfully all through the songs and the message on Sunday morning. Speaking just for me and my family, I don’t think our lives will ever quite be the same again.”
“Grant taught our team to leave a gap in our sound that invites the ‘voice’ of the congregation, and boy, do they fill it!”
“Grant provides a service sorely needed in churches today. In just a few short hours, he was able to help us beyond what we had even hoped for. He helped ALL of our team, regardless of their skill level.”
“It was our absolute pleasure having Grant speak to our music leaders at EAGA. This session was unique, insightful and practical. It was timely for Uganda and will directly impact our music community. We’d love to see him again!”
“Grant challenged our church in such a way that neither discouraged nor coddled, but rather in an uplifting ‘Come on, let’s do better together!’ manner that really uplifted us.”
“We really enjoyed having Grant from More Than Music Mentor with us and would love to have him back again.”
“Grant’s passion for worship, skill as a musician, and gift for teaching beautifully combine in a clear and engaging manner that brings a richer understanding of what worship is.”
“This experience has left a lasting impact on my spirit, and I am sure the same is true for many others also.”
“Our song leaders, musicians and vocalists were greatly encouraged by the weekend and our whole congregation responded wholeheartedly to what God was able to do through Grant.”
“In a day when churches continue to struggle over worship styles or applaud those who perform as musicians, Grant reminds us that God is the audience of all true worship.”
“In the few weeks since Grant’s More Than Music Workshop – with us now applying the things he taught the team – our congregational participation is much better than I’ve ever seen before. We are very grateful!”
“Grant is a true pleasure to listen to, learn from, and work with!”
“Our praise band spent three hours with Grant one Saturday afternoon and it has revolutionized both our playing and singing together as a team, and our perspective on what it means to worship and be worshipers of God.”
