In Handbook for Multisensory Worship, Volume 2, Kim Miller and the worship team of Ginghamsburg Church―widely known for their innovative use of multimedia elements in worship―provide more practical guidance for planning and conducting dynamic worship celebrations. Through the skillful blending of contemporary media such as music, film, and drama with the timeless truths and stories of the Bible, these celebrations help postmodern persons―particularly those who have little or no experience with the Christian faith―experience God’s love and become faithful followers. Included in this second volume are 30 new and complete worship celebrations, each organized around a central metaphor and theme designed to articulate the needs of and connect with the life experiences of the congregation. The components of each celebration―suggestions for dramatic visuals, lively music, enlightening dramas, and inspiring prayers―all combine to powerfully embody themes for the worship celebration. For example, in the celebration “Navigating Rough Water,” the image of whitewater rafting illustrates the turbulent events that occur in all our lives, and the celebration focuses on God’s sustaining presence during these difficult times. “Real Followers” uses the juxtaposed images of a cross and a ladder to represent the competing claims of radical discipleship with worldly ambition and success. Kim Miller is Creative Director of Worship at Ginghamsburg Church where she and the worship team work to create an atmosphere where people can experience God. Kim draws on her background in theatre and visual arts to powerfully and creatively combine drama, graphics, music, and storytelling with preaching. Each week Kim and the worship team of Mike Slaughter (Senior Pastor), Todd Carter (Media Director), and Francis Wyatt (Music Director) plan and coordinate the four worship services for the growing Ginghamsburg community.

Churches all over North America are starting contemporary worship services or incorporating elements of contemporary worship in more traditional services. While many books have discussed why contemporary worship is necessary to reaching the unchurched, too few have provided solid, practical help for planning and executing this new style of worship. In Handbook for Multi-Sensory Worship, the worship team of Ginghamsburg Church―recognized as one of the most innovative congregations today in worship planning and development―offers just this kind of nuts-and-bolts guidance on how to prepare for and execute worship in a contemporary key. Included in the handbook are worship themes that are geared to felt needs in the congregation. This book explains how to choose appropriate themes, build a service around them, and identify lections that build on these themes. Congregations will learn how to identify and address the felt needs of the pre-Christian audience in the congregation. Worship aids are thematically based: • music―which songs to use and where to get the music and permission to use it • video clips―what to use, where and how to get them, and how to get permission to use them • graphics and images―where to find images that support sermons • dramas―the book includes sources of dramas and examples that can be used by congregations and guidance on how to draw people into drama and train them to participate in worship in this way • contemporary calls to worship, prayers, offertory prayers, and sentences The handbook contains 30 complete contemporary worship services and detailed how-to instructions. The CD contains a large number of projection images linked to the text of the handbook, and to the Internet, for use in worship services.

Redesigning Worship: Creating Powerful God Experiences

As campus designer for Ginghamsburg Church, in Tipp City, Ohio, Kim Miller has observed that when a church gets serious about Jesus' call, there is always a design element to be addressed. Kim asserts that physical space transformation is simply a backdrop for authentic people transformation. Change the space and the opportunity and environment to change the world emerges. This comes as a fresh challenge for churches and ministries struggling to present a new look to match their relevant message. An emphasis on spatial design is an incarnation of Jesus’ call for new wineskins and is emerging as a key means to create community and the opportunity for transformation for a creative generation. This book is a practical guide for church leaders to transform their physical space into a ministry asset. Filled with pictures, tutorials and stories of spaces and lives transformed, REdesigning Churches offers close-up snapshots of design-on-a-dime style looks, providing readers with usable ideas and how-tos that are supported by stories of real-life change from Ginghamsburg’s diverse community and the many congregations with which Kim consults.
