Worship Outlines

All of these are ideas that I have used in various ministries over the years. I hope that these will help you to spread the message of Christ around the world. Everything here is free of charge. If you find anything you can use and would like to support Nailscars.com you can donate using the link in the navigation bar.

These Worship Outlines are still in a rough form. Right now the links may not work, but I am working on cleaning them up and getting all of the links up and running.

  • Because of the Cross

    This is the first gathering of this type that we have done in "big church" at my church. I still haven't processed all of the information, and it doesn't have some of the stuff you will need to understand it, but you can see the general idea.

  • Sent to Serve

    This gathering was the result of some of my students wanting to serve their peers through washing feet. Combine that with the fact that we were leaving for a missions based camp on Saturday and you end up with something that looks like this. Includes introductory video, complete outline, talking points, and a dramatic reading.

  • Water Worship

    This is a worship service designed to be held outside by a running stream or spring. If you can't get outside to do this you can "create" a stream inside, but it would work best out in God's creation.

  • Wake Worship

    This is the first part of a four part series of experiential worship. The series (WAKE, SEEK, KNOW, TELL) moves participants through different stages of a relationship with God. This first one uses the arts to help participants "wake up" to the reality of God around them.

  • Seek Worship

    This gathering is actually part 2 of a four part series of gatherings centered around the idea of how we come to know God. We did this one first, but after I finished I felt that it would work better as the second in the series. The complete series will be WAKE, SEEK, KNOW, TELL

  • Love Worship

    One of the FNC worship gatherings that we had for our students. It contains a short student-led (for us anyway) front centered worship section and then instructions for worship stations.

    This one was for our February meeting so we centered it all on love. The outline contains a drama combined with a creative movement as well as other worship elements.

  • Seed Worship

    One of the FNC worship gatherings that we had for our students. It contains a short student-led (for us anyway) front centered worship section and then instructions for worship stations.

    This was for our January meeting. It uses a Seed Motif to talk about New Beginnings. Includes an object lesson, a dramatic reading, a guided prayer and other elements.

  • Encounters with Jesus

    This is several worship stations that focus on different aspects of Jesus. It is basically just the instruction sheets with a little set up guidance, but I think most of the stations are pretty easy to figure out.

  • Christmas Station Worship

    Pretty much what it says, a collection of Christmas worship stations, with the overall theme being "change the world."
