Upstate Worship Conference 2026
A day to encourage, equip, and connect worship leaders, musicians, tech teams, and ministry volunteers from across Upstate New York.
Worship Leaders Need Worship Too
Week after week, worship teams faithfully serve their churches. They lead rehearsals, manage technology, prepare songs, and care for people—all while pursuing Christ in the midst of ministry.
The Upstate Worship Conference exists to provide space for worship leaders and volunteers to step away from the weekly routine and be refreshed, encouraged, and equipped.
Whether you serve as a worship pastor, volunteer musician, vocalist, audio engineer, media operator, or ministry leader, this conference is designed to strengthen both your ministry and your walk with Jesus.
Throughout the weekend, participants will experience:
- Biblical teaching on worship and leadership.
- Practical training for worship teams and production ministries.
- Breakout sessions designed for musicians, vocalists, and technical teams.
- Times of corporate worship and ministry.
- Opportunities to connect with leaders from churches throughout our region.
Our prayer is simple:
That those who faithfully lead others into God's presence would themselves be renewed, strengthened, and reminded that they are not serving alone.
