We are excited to invite you to Wonder 2025, a powerful one-day conference designed for pastors, worship leaders, musicians, songwriters, creatives, and production teams. Our theme, inspired by 2 Corinthians 4:7 — "We now have this light shining in our hearts, but we ourselves are like fragile clay jars containing this great treasure. This makes it clear that our great power is from God, not from ourselves." — reminds us that though we are mere vessels of worship, it is God’s light, strength and power that shine through us.

Wonder 2025 is a space for those serving in worship ministry to gather, grow, and be equipped in both theological depth and practical leadership. Whether you’re leading a congregation, writing songs, or supporting worship through technical artistry, this conference will deepen your understanding of your role as a worshipper and leader. Together, we’ll explore how to faithfully steward the treasure of God's presence, making His glory known in every aspect of our ministry.

Join us for a day of inspiration, growth, and connection as we look to God as the source of our strength and creativity.

WORKSHOPS.

11:00AM

Building Cathedrals of Creativity as we Lean into Sacred Innovation

Sharon Witton . Co-pastor of Toronto City Church

Learning to develop, grow and lead church communities that house creativity and wonder.

The Steadfast Way (Workshop for Men)

Wade Joye . Ministry coach and speaker

In this breakout for men, we will talk about how to become the unwavering leader your family and church needs and discuss practical guardrails that protect your integrity, passion, and long-term impact in ministry.

Women in Worship: Chosen, Created, Called

Jenni McGrew . Pastor of Hope City Church & Founder of Worship Leaders Collective

You were made for this moment. This session empowers women in worship to rise with boldness, lead with purpose, and embrace the call of God—for such a time as this.

Behind the Scenes: Production and Church Mission

Jeremy Payne . Producer & Media Manager at The Peoples Church

Church production is more than just screens, lights, cameras, and sound—it’s ministry. Let’s explore developing strong production teams that foster community, enhance discipleship and amplify the mission of the Church.

What is MultiTracks.com?

Andrew Favreau . Brand Manager at MultiTracks.com

2:30PM

Reclaiming the Imagination

Sunder Krishnan . Preacher at Large, Teacher and Pastor

When it comes to living the Christian life, acquiring the right image is far more important than mere willpower (attributed to Stanley Hauerwas). As an engineer before I became a pastor , I was a latecomer to the world of imagination and its power, both in preaching and in worship. In this workshop, I will share my own journey, illustrating from many sources for life altering and motivating images.

How Long?: Worshipping the God of Justice

Brian Mullins . International Justice Mission

The Justice of God is a major theme in the book of Psalms, yet almost none of our worship music today even mentions it. We will look at the centrality of God’s heart for justice, how that can be reflected in our worship, and how IJM and the church can partner together to create a more just world.

Identity as a Worshipper

Jenni McGrew . Pastor of Hope City Church & Founder of Worship Leaders Collective

In John 4, Jesus isn’t just talking about how to worship — He’s revealing who we are. This session is an invitation to return to the heart of worship, where your identity is rooted not in performance or perfection, but in being known, loved, and called by God as a worshipper in spirit and truth.

Writing Songs that Unify the Church

Matthew Grieve, Joel Augé and Luis Vargas . Royal Anthems

Come join Matthew Grieve, Joel Augé and Luis Varga from the Royal Anthems team as they unfold the importance of songwriting as an expression of worship to the Lord and how songs can unify us as a church body. Also participate in a live group writing experience as we write a brand new song together!

How to Learn to Trust Your Ears and Not Stress About It

Ben Pelchat . Producer, Audio Engineer at Bayview Glen Church

This workshop will cover audio techniques and philosophies to help bring your productions to the next level. It will also look into how to best navigate the pressures of the audio engineer’s role, while maintaining healthy interpersonal relationships in church/live settings, and in the studio.
