The Worship Exchange Program is an ongoing effort to provide resources for our faculty, staff, and students to engage and explore topics related to adolescent worship practices, intergenerational worship, and the creative use of the arts in worship.
Upcoming Events:
Worship Leadership Network Ministry Fair
Wednesday, Sept. 7, 2022
The Center for Worship and the Arts will hold its annual Worship Leadership Network Ministry Fair Sept. 7 on Samford's campus. Samford students and area worship leaders are invited to meet and explore the possibilities of new ministry partnerships during the fair.
This event provides a positive starting point for successful ministry partnerships and ongoing mentor/mentee relationships with area worship leaders and students. Through these partnerships, students gain valuable work experience while also contributing to the life of the local church during their time in college. We hope to limit this event to ministry opportunities within a 60 mile radius from Samford's campus. Selected community partners will have access to approximately 3 feet of display space to use as desired during the event.
More details and registration information to come later this summer. Here is a video from last year'e event.

Community Partners Directory
Church leaders are invited to share information about jobs, internships, and other ministry needs. Each week during the academic year, the CWA compiles the listings into a directory which is accessible to students via email and QR code. Through these partnerships, students gain valuable work experience while also contributing to the life of the local church during their time in college. There is often financial compensation associated with these positions.
