Anchored Music Ministries pioneered our approach to leadership development training through three successful Worship Workshops in Ghana, in cooperation with Global Evangelical Church (formerly Evangelical Presbyterian Church of Ghana) in 2001, 2002, and 2004.  We worked in partnership with Covenant Theological Seminary on these workshops, and teams included CTS faculty and staff.

Subjects taught included History of Christian Music, three worship planning courses, songwriting for worship, two musical arranging classes, three music theory classes, Drama in Worship, Voice, Team Building and Relationships, and Spiritual Development of the Worship Leader.  So much of what we do now came from our experiences in Ghana and this experience helped make Anchored Music Ministries who we are today.  It continues to influence and shape us, even as we reflect on it two years later.

The Brazil project is involved in short term assignments in cooperation with Presbyterian Church of Brazil developing training that meets their needs for growing their worship arts ministries in congregations and seminaries.  

Aspects of this project involve partnering with various entities to provide lectures, classes, one-on-one training, consulting, etc.  Since 2003, we have done projects in Goiania and Varginha, and three in Belo Horizonte.  

Future projects include work in Rio de Janeiro, a return to Goiania, and work with The Presbyterian Seminary Daniel Eller in Belo Horizonte.

Topics have included:  Worship Planning, Contemporary v. Traditional Music, History of Christian Music, Transcendence v. Immanence, Choosing Songs & Hymns For Worship and Team Building.

The Mexico project began in association with San Pablo Seminary in Ciudad Juarez and Border Evangelism & Mercy Ministries in El Paso in the Fall of 2006.  Starting with short term trips, the project provided training to grow the worship ministries of church plants along the entire U.S. border region from Tijuana to Corpus Christi.

Working with San Pablo professors, missionaries and local pastors, teams from Anchored Music Ministries offered training in both seminary and church settings, for small groups as well as larger gatherings.  Subjects covered included Theology of Worship, Music Composition, Church Music History, Worship Planning, Team Building, Musicianship, Voice, and Songwriting for Worship, just for starters.

In 2009, Anchored Music expanded its work to Mexicali and Tijuana on the Western U.S.-Mexico border with California.
