Compelled is a worship conference for the Canadian church, by the Canadian church. We are passionate about raising up leaders in Canada, and our objective is to have local and national leaders build into you. One of the advantages of a conference with teaching through local leaders is the connection that continues after the conference. Everyone on our team is either serving in a local church, or serving the local church. When you make connections at Compelled, we are just a phone call or coffee away! There is something special happening in Canada right now, and our desire is to build our bench of leaders to respond to what God is doing right here at home.

Registration is Now Open!!

Compelled 2025 is on October 4th at Compass Point Bible Church.

Check out the recap video from last year below!!

Workshop: Tech Team – You Are Worship Leaders

Main Thought: The talk is a reminder that worship leadership goes far beyond those on the platform. It challenges the common perception of tech ministry as purely functional and instead reframes it as deeply formational and missional.

With years of experience in church leadership, team building, and teaching, he loves seeing the church thrive through Gospel-centered worship and spiritual renewal.

What’s better – a pedalboard or modeler, and should we ever use a 12 string acoustic at church? We’ll explore how guitar is being used in worship music today, and how can we improve what we’re doing with the people and equipment that we have. We’ll have some fun listening and sharing some tips for how to improve your guitar skills and coaching guitarists on your team as we look at diverse styles of music, playing, and techniques.

Main Thought: As a leader involved in worship ministry, sometimes it can feel like we’re always behind as we plan, create, arrange, sing, play, setup and edit.

We’ll explore what we can do to do less, coach more, and strengthen your team, church, and calling.

Rachel Siverns

Workshop: What We See – Visual Design as Hospitality in the Church

How can our churches use visuals and design as hospitality as we gather? Screens, fonts, lights, decor, set design – all of these things can be a distraction, or they can help create a welcoming space to encourage people to respond to God in worship and lean into community. Join us to learn about principles of design, discuss our unique contexts, and gain practical tools to help us invite people into the story of the gospel through what they see.
