About Anabaptist Worship Network

What is the goal of the Anabaptist Worship Network?

The goal of the Anabaptist Worship Network (AWN) is to support worship and song leaders in making intentional, theologically grounded, and spiritually inspired choices about worship practices that respond to their local contexts and dismantle oppression in their communities. It seeks to connect congregations for conversation and learning, to resource the growing edges of Anabaptist worship, and to help communities transform by intentionally breaking down barriers.

What do we do?

Anabaptist Worship Network offers virtual and in person events, and facilitates a blog and facebook community.

• Through Together in Worship, AWN makes available new worship resources in a variety of formats and on a range of topics.

• Through the AWN Projects Team, AWN hosts webinars, writes blog posts, and undertakes various projects to support Anabaptist worship education.

• Through the Voices Together Implementation Team, AWN provides churches with workshops on the new hymnal, writes supplemental resources for the collection, and plans events such as the Laurelville Music and Worship Leaders Retreat.

AWN leadership can be found teaching courses on worship at Anabaptist institutions, sitting on various committees related to worship in our denominations, and working with Voices Together ambassadors to help equip congregations towards meaningful worship. We are always evaluating how we can best serve Anabaptist worship by connecting leaders, resourcing congregations, and responding to our communities.
