Worship 4:24 2026 to Feature Guest Artist Paul Baloche

As your SCBO Worship Consultant, I want our worship leaders to be able to learn from the best worship ministry trainers in the world.

That’s why I’m excited to share that Paul Baloche will be our guest artist for Worship 4:24 on January 30-31, 2026!

Paul brings a wealth of worship leading, songwriting, pastoral, and training experience to our conference. He served for 25 years as a worship pastor, while winning three Dove Awards across 12 albums recorded through Integrity Music.

Paul deeply cares about pastoring the teams he leads and has become known as an incredible worship teacher and trainer through his master classes and video resources, with millions of views on YouTube. A vast amount of this training is available for free on his YouTube channel and his website Leadworship.com.

You probably have heard some songs from the early 2000s that Paul has written, including “Open the Eyes of My Heart” or “Hosanna (Praise is Rising)”…we sang these all the time growing up. But my favorite Paul Baloche song is one he wrote more recently in 2020: “Behold Him.” It’s a modern, but beautifully simple song about beholding Jesus as He truly is. HeartSong teams from Cedarville University lead this song, and for good reason. It’s a fantastic song that I commend to our churches.

I’m asking every SCBO church to send at least one worship leader or team member to Worship 4:24 this year, whether they’re a volunteer song leader trying to help keep the ship afloat or an instrumentalist or a tech team member. If they come, they’ll get to soak in worship training from a true, faithful veteran of worship ministry in Paul Baloche, and go to breakouts that give them tools to solve problems and lead more effectively.

If you are a pastor and you want to learn how to lead worship leaders, come with your worship leader. We’re planning breakouts tailored just for you.

The conference will be hosted again at Cedarville University. We love Cedarville. Thank you to the Cedarville Worship Department and leadership for making this possible year after year.
Bottom line: Pastors, I’m really excited for you, your worship leader, and your worship team to get to learn about best practices in worship ministry from Paul and his team, and for us to worship together this January.

Now, I say this every year, and this is the secret: if you register your team today, it will only cost $50 per adult and $25 per student. Don’t wait to lock in this price, it will go up as we get closer.

Also, for your 14-18 year olds, please encourage them to attend the Weekend of Worship on Thursday! It adds a bonus day to the conference! You’ll get to meet Paul and his team, spend time with worship bands from Cedarville, and select bands will get a chance to play and receive feedback from worship professionals.
