Whether you're leading worship or singing harmonies, preparation matters. Here you'll find song resources, playlists, vocal warm-ups, harmony tutorials, worship-leading tools, and other materials designed to help you serve with confidence and excellence.
Leading Worship is both a holy calling and a joyful responsibility. At One Harbor, we believe worship is a response to the greatness and nearness of God, and we lead out of the overflow of what Jesus has done for us. While preparing a setlist and guiding a team of musicians can feel daunting, our hope is that this guide equips you to do it with confidence, humility, and purpose.
Our vision is to raise up a community of creatives who worship Jesus with their whole lives. That means we don’t just sing songs - we disciple, encourage, and serve one another as gifted, humble friends. As a worship leader, you help shape a culture where excellence is pursued, grace is extended, and Jesus is always first.

Caring for Your Voice
Your voice is a gift and an instrument. While perfection isn't the goal, healthy vocal habits help us lead with confidence and serve faithfully week after week.
Stay hydrated throughout the week.
Get plenty of rest before serving.
Take a few minutes to warm up before rehearsal or services.
Avoid excessive yelling, screaming, or whispering.
Give your voice time to recover when it's tired or strained.
Use the vocal warm-up resources below to help prepare your voice and set yourself up for success each weekend.
Planning Center
Planning Center is one of the primary tools we use to prepare for services and stay connected as a team. Explore the resources below for step-by-step instructions on customizing chord charts, adding songs, and making the platform work best for you.
