The Healthy Worship Team with Julie Englerth
My name is Julie, and I've been a worship leader for over 20 years. In the last 7 years, I took the lead in rebuilding the culture and structure of my hometown worship team. By embracing this process, I learned how to guide my team through huge change, resulting in a thriving team that tripled in size, expanded from one service to three services weekly, and even created and released our own music. If you are called to lead worship and know you have what it takes but can't seem to get your team to join you, I'm here to help.
