Daniel Deitrich Worship leader/curator/pastor/songwriter

Pastor of Young Adults and Worship Arts at First Church of God in St. Joseph, MI (1200 members). Songwriter and recording artist. I regularly lead and mentor musicians of all skill levels, guide teams of techs and other volunteers, and curate weekend worship gatherings. Leadership in the church world can be difficult, lonely, messy. I'm here to offer an outside perspective on issues like: How to lead a team of volunteers with varying skill levels. How to handle conflict in your volunteer teams. How to handle conflict with co-workers - even your lead pastor. What to do when you're burned out. How to maintain your creativity. How to craft a compelling worship gathering. How to (very nicely) fire a volunteer. I also work every week as a graphic designer and film-maker.
