Larry, great thoughts on this. It really is a quick turnaround, how they keep the product upgraded and ready to role according to customer requests.

I researched every product on the market to replace my homebrewed FileMaker Pro/hundreds of PDFs system almost 2 years ago. No other product could meet our requirement/desirements list. The legal audio playback is huge along with the ability to upload our custom arrangements, usually built on pre-existing ones. One of the biggest pluses, pleasantly discovered after we signed on, is Kim & company’s responsiveness to our input. It’s like “man, I wish this worked THIS way” and they come back “no problem” and BAM! it’s implemented. They have been really patient with walking some of through workflow until we “got it.” I can’t imagine worship planning without this tool and can’t say enough good things about how it’s changed how our worship teams work together.

P.S. If they implement SamePage support, we’ll just have to buy a system. That will radically change how we conduct worship I think

That’s a good question. I’m going to connect with Kim Gentes on this.

The legal issue, it seems, is actually important to worship leaders. We feel a slight twinge of guilt when we consider forwarding an .mp3, or doing anything that feels like the writer (or even the non-descript ‘industry’) might be upset if they knew we did it.

Not that we’re all perfect altruists in these matters, but we are Christians who believe that our followership of Christ demands some attention to this detail.

What Kim has built in WorshipTeam.com, I know is the legal one out there. It would be good to hear from the others on this.

I’ll see what I can do friends.

and oh…did I mention it’s legal/morally right too?!…Not so sure about planningcentre…hmmm…does anyone have any further info on this topic for planningcentre? I’d hate to put something out there that’s incorrect.

Simply the best product on the market. We’re a smallish church with many beginning musicians. Worshipteam gives us all the tools we need to not only provide quality worship on sundays, but also to develop musicians and teams as well as handle all the administrative tasks that go along with the job. Thanks Kim for being faithful to the calling God has given you. Your obedience truly has had a global impact.

Here here. I love it. I know some folks who rave about Planning Centre, so I’m curious to hear the comparison. I think Planning Centre is great for larger churches who have to coordinate a lot of volunteers for their services, and worshipteam.com caters more to the worship leader and the stuff he/she needs?

But yeah, I’m loving worshipteam.com, and my other worship leaders love it too. Not sure if this is a good thing, but one of my worship bands stopped rehearsing during the week because they could so easily share the mp3’s ahead of time. I’ll have to pray about that one…
