How to Keep 18 Campuses Singing the Same Songs w/ CCV Music

Put a bunch of similarly gifted people on one worship team and something quietly goes bad.

Jordan Howerton calls it poison: the jealousy and comparison that takes root when you start wondering why someone else got that campus, that song, that recording.

He also thinks celebration is the antidote, and his teams practice it out loud at every huddle.

In this conversation: why CCV sings the same songs at all 18 campuses but lets each leader arrange them for their own room, why he tells anyone stepping into a new church not to change a thing for the first six months to a year, and the reason jerking the wheel on culture rattles people even when the change is right.

Jordan is the senior director of worship and production at Christ's Church of the Valley in Phoenix, where he has helped lead worship across 18 campuses for more than a decade.

If culture change starts with people showing up ready, Worship Online gives every player and vocalist their exact part to learn at home, so rehearsal is refining instead of reteaching. See how it works at https://worshiponline.com/
