What people say about Shawn
Shawn Theis
Shawn is one of the best leaders, and developers of people, I have ever met. He is full of wisdom, grace and joy, that is contagious!
Shawn is a seasoned worship leader with deep experience as a volunteer, bi-vocational, full-time and multi-campus worship leader. His integrity and passion for the presence of God in worship as well as his musical training set him apart as an excellent choice for holistic training and coaching for worship leaders. It is rare to find both the spiritual passion and awareness, the technical knowledge, and the level of musical training Shawn has all in one package.
Shawn naturally recognizes the gifts in others and has the rare ability to hone in on the development needs of individuals while connecting each person to the bigger picture of where God is leading the team — this is harmony! He is exceptionally intentional in his own development, always seeking to grow and share his decades of leadership lessons to help others flourish. Ever encouraging and humble, Shawn brings wisdom to bear as he guides leaders and teams to step more fully into what God has called them to.
As a non-musical youth pastor, I leaned heavily on the worship pastor. What was incredible about Shawn was he not only filled a void, but trained and discipled up and coming musicians to use their talents for Christ. It actually changed the way I trained and developed my leaders.
Shawn has a heart to worship God. He also has a heart to teach others how to worship God. If you want to know how to prepare yourself and those you lead consult Shawn Theis. He has proven experience in leading people to the feet of Jesus. Shawn will challenge your thinking while encouraging your heart. That’s a unique combination. You cannot lead others to do what you are not experiencing. Let Shawn show you what worship is and what worship does.
Shawn is a leader with integrity. He is an expert level trusted advisor for developing worship teams and services. I have witnessed every team he has worked with, regardless of size, grow in cohesiveness which translates to an increase in engagement during service. He instills principles of professionalism to create a healthy culture for servitude.
Shawn Theis is an excellent mentor and musician. A man of strong faith and a great worship leader, Shawn has the gift of getting the best out of a worship team. Developing and teaching others is what he was meant to do. I always loved playing on his team!
We understand the reality of being a Worship Pastor who is expected to lead creatively, shepherd people, develop volunteers, produce excellent services, manage systems, plan for the future, and somehow make it all happen again next Sunday.
We believe Worship Pastors shouldn't have to choose between people, excellence and organization. They need all three — and they need systems that make all three sustainable.
What we bring
That's where we come alongside them
We help Worship Pastors build something bigger than themselves.
- Practical experience
- Proven systems
- Leadership development
- A ministry-first perspective
What that means
The difference in practice
We don't just help you fill positions.
We help you develop people.
We don't just help you produce Sundays.
We help you build ministries.
We don't just build teams.
We build cultures where people and excellence can thrive together.
And ultimately, we help build Legacy Ministries — ministries designed to serve the church long after any one person is gone.
Who we serve
Senior Pastors and church leadership
We serve leaders who want to see their worship ministry become healthier, stronger, more effective and sustainable for the future.
We begin by creating alignment around vision. Then we work deeply with the Worship Pastor to build the ministry that vision requires. We help them shepherd their people, develop leaders, strengthen musicians and technical teams, create recruiting and retention systems, establish mechanisms for monitoring individual and team health, build cultures of discipleship and excellence, and create sustainable growth strategies.
And we help put systems in place that can continue working long after any one person leaves.
