Stacey Gleddiesmith, Session 1

How does our worship convey our theology? How do we teach theology through our worship? In this session we will explore the answers to these questions as we consider the relationship between our doxology and our place as worshippers. 

Phil Vanderveen, Session 2

Serving the people, serving the song - we tend to lead the song like we've heard it, not singing it like 'us' - and yet, this moment will never be repeated! Worship is dynamic, various stories are in the room every time we worship. In this session we will explore how we can make the song work for the people in the room because it is "we" who are making a delight to the Lord.

Stacey Gleddiesmith

Stacey is the Director of Worship Arts at Columbia Bible  College. She has an MDiv with a concentration in Arts and Theology from Regent College in Vancouver, BC, and is currently pursuing a DMin in New Testament Context at Northern Seminary in Chicago. She believes strongly that worship leaders should be trained in theology first, as a foundation for the pastoral task of worship leadership, and views all of Scripture as a worship narrative of God’s movement toward humanity, and humanity’s response to God. When she is not teaching, Stacey can be found at the piano, in the pottery studio, or paddle boarding down a local river with her husband, Andrew, and her dog, Gus.
