Congregational Songs – New Songs for Corporate Worship

Stuart Townend Interview

November 23, 2010

Mike Harland at Lifeway Worship sits down with Stuart Townend in this video to ask him about everything from pastoral worship leadership to pitfalls in writing a congregational song. For those of you who are not familiar with Stuart Townend by name, he is the writer or co-writer of such songs as “In Christ Alone” and “How Deep the Father’s Love for Us.” He is without a doubt my favorite modern hymn-writer, and someone whose work I always peruse in looking for new songs to introduce at Grace. I was inspired by his passion in this interview and convicted as a writer. Eric Campbell, Worship pastor at First Baptist Church in Durham, NC shared this with me. Thank you, Eric! Side note: Starting in 2011, click here for a link to a Nashville-produced album Eric just recorded.
