Tennessee Singing School

06/10/2026

Every congregation has someone who could grow into a stronger worshiper, singer, or song leader.
Maybe it’s a young man who needs encouragement.
Maybe it’s a current song leader who would benefit from coaching.
Maybe it’s a Christian who has always wanted to understand music better.
Send someone to the Tennessee Singing School.

June 26–27, 2026
on the campus of Freed-Hardeman University
Henderson, Tennessee

Music Theory. Shape Notes. Song Leading. Singing. Coaching. Encouragement.

Mission works like Doxology Project are only as strong as the 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀 who create the foundation from which we launch. We’re so thankful for those who already give one-time, monthly, or annually.

In 2025, Doxology Project has traveled thousands of miles and shared hundreds of hours with thousands of worshipers in congregations and classrooms. Recent travels have taken us to California, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, and Washington.

Along the way we have:

🔸 Planned and taught 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗹𝘀

🔸 Led 𝗿𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 in four states

God has been busy through this ministry — 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗲 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲𝗻’𝘁 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝗹𝗮𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝗶𝘁 𝗳𝘂𝗹𝗹-𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝘆𝗲𝘁!

In 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲, we (Levi & Sara) will be giving ourselves to Doxology Project full-time. Your support allows us to keep laboring and to expand this work with our partners (see comments).

July 20 at Abilene Christian University Campus

​The Worship Leader Conference is a workshop event held on the Saturday preceding the annual Texas Normal Singing School. Speakers and topics are new every year – but all with a core subject of worship. In the past few years, speakers have included audio engineers, theologians, professors, ministers, hymnal/psalter compiler-editors, choir directors, hymnologists, and others, each bringing an exciting word about the practice and spirituality of our worship to God. This event is designed to encourage, challenge, and build up worship leaders, song leaders, preachers/ministers, and all those who lead and participate in Christian worship.

This year we’re excited to bring Dr. Randy Gill from Nashville to Abilene for the 2024 WLC with his topic “Worship Through the Ages: A Musical History Tour,” a series on church music history and the lessons worship leaders can learn from the past.

9:00 Disneyland or Death Valley
10:00 From Martin Luther to the Golden Age
11:00 The Giant Rummage Sale
12:00 Lunch (on your own)
1:30 Head or Heart
2:30 The Only Thing We Have to Fear…
3:30 Panel Discussion with Dr. Gill and others

📝Register for the Worship Leader Conference (https://forms.gle/xqn4GA4v2BT3GYzL6)

The 2024 WLC sessions will take place in Room 114 in the Onstead-Packer Biblical Studies Building on campus of Abilene Christian University.

The WLC is a free event; anyone may attend. We do ask – but do not require – you to consider helping us to defray the costs with a suggested donation of $25. We thank you for pre-registering at this link. Because this is a unique event, you must register separately for the WLC, even if you are already registered for the Texas Normal Singing School.

He is a founding member of the The ZOE Group and continues to be involved in that ministry.

Dr. Gill is a well-known educator in Churches of Christ, having also served on the faculties of Pepperdine, Rochester, and Oklahoma Christian Universities.
