“I can’t begin to tell you how much I enjoy connecting with local worship leaders. I love to hear about what they are excited about, what they are learning, and what they have been challenged with. St. Louis is in great need of this ministry to connect worship leaders together, to be encouraged and challenged and to ultimately know they are not alone in ministry! We are better together!”
