2025 WALi Summit
September 30 - October 2

The Worship Arts Leader initiative (WALi) is a community-building initiative of Concordia University Irvine’s Center for Worship Leadership (CWL) which, rooted in the Lutheran Confessions, harmonizes leaders across various contexts (whether it be traditional, contemporary, multi-ethnic, etc). WALi envisions a supportive and encouraging community of theologically faithful leaders engaged in contextual artistry throughout the LCMS.
The 2025 WALi Summit is a gathering place created to promote connectivity with one another for shared learning, common support, and professional inspiration. It is intentionally designed to address the needs of worship arts ministry staff, volunteer leaders, team members, pastors, and students preparing for church worker vocations. AND – it brings together church leaders regardless of genre (contemporary & traditional).
When: September 30 – October 2
Where: Woodbury Lutheran Church
7380 Afton Rd, Woodbury, MN 55125
WALi Is For Everyone – whether church musician, worship leader, pastor, tech director, traditional or contemporary – let’s come together to receive the gifts of God and give thanks!
