Biography

The call to lead worship is a divine mandate: to help others experience the manifest presence of God. And some are called to move beyond corporate worship into a deeper level of responsibility. To guide, encourage, and edify the next generation of worship leaders.

For Stephen Hurd, his commission is clear.

“I know my assignment as a worship leader,” he shares. “I feel like I’m called to be a teacher, to nurture and spark creativity in others. I’m called to help leaders understand their real responsibility, which is to help their congregations experience God.”

Stephen is a renowned leader in the gospel music community. He serves as the minister of music for First Baptist Church Glenarden in Landover, Maryland. He has released two acclaimed recordings with Integrity Music. And he is a Stellar and Dove-Award nominated songwriter and artist.

Yet despite the accolades, Stephen knew that his new project should more fully reflect his complete calling. A collection of songs that would not only edify the Church, but recharge and reinvigorate his fellow leaders. A live recording of a one-of-a-kind worship environment.

“I wanted to create a place for worship leaders where they could be refreshed,” he says. “A place where I could pour into them. A place where they weren’t on a platform, but could instead receive from God the weight of His glory.”

But more than being inspired by God’s renewing presence, Stephen wanted to encourage leaders to ignite their own community.

“My desire was that these worship leaders would be sparked with excitement and creativity so they could bring a fresh sound of worship to their congregation,” he says.
