Chris Tomlin’s Frequency Worship Community and Planning Center

Posted by John Saddington on Mar 10, 2010

Someone passed me this the other day and I thought it looked great: Chris Tomlin’s Frequency Worship Center.

Essentially it’s a monthly paid service where you can get premium content, tools, and resources to help plan your worship sets and more.

With the talent that’s behind this service it looks to be a guaranteed valuable opportunity! For only $15.95 (or $19.95 for premium) you can get access to all that and more.

Check out this sample video of some advice from Nathan Nockels on using loops in recorded and live sessions:

Is this something you’d sign up for?

    When I saw this at first I was like wow thats cool, I haven’t seen anything like this before, but then I remembered that I saw an ad in Collide Magazine for a similar service Called Planning Center (http://www.planningcenteronline.com/) which has also been featured here on one of the 8bit blogs.

    Has anyone here used planning center? I know Northpoint uses it, what about your church? Do you see any benefits that Frequency has that Planing Center does not?

      This seems to be geared towards worship in specific. It also seems to be more about content and resources rather than organization. Planning Center does not provide content or loops but is rather an organizational tool for the church. Planning Center is basically a step by step order of events for a service and it can distribute resources throughout the staff. Frequency looks like it provides the content that planning center can utilize and distribute.

      I do some video production directing for the high school ministry (Insideout) at Northpoint and I have a bunch of experience using planning center. It is an incredible resource and will reduce stress in your production along with an incredibly smooth flow.

    I’m not seeing anything in the article in regards to PCO (Planning Center Online). Anyways,

    Loved Love Loved Nathan’s video. We’ve been using loops and sequences for a couple years at NorthRidge (northridgechurch.com) and we have been using planning center for about a year and a half now and it’s completely changed the way we plan and execute our services and events.

    regarding the click track: Even when were NOT using loops which is probably 75% of the time, we are using a metronome 100% of the time, and specifically for the reasons Nathan mentions. We simply run it into our audio system and it’s fed back to us in our in ear monitors, which are crucial.

    what’s everyone else doing? I’d be interested to hear from those who don’t use a metronome and why.

      Josh I know John didn’t mention anything about PCO, but it is also a worship planning software so I thought I would mention it.

    Looks like it can do for music what Andy Stanley has done for Sunday messages.

    Nothing like a GREAT collection of tools to help you take care of your church better & smarter.

    I wouldn’t sign up for it- but that’s because I’m not in this area so to speak. I can see it as a HUGE resource for those that are though. Cool beans.

    Very cool. Having been a worship pastor at a couple churches, this looks like a great tool.
