Writing Songs | Building Community

We are bringing the Worship Cooperative songwriting retreat back to Greenville, South Carolina. What began as a local expression of unity and collaboration has become a gathering point for worship leaders and songwriters who carry a heart to write songs for the Church.

This retreat is more than an event. It’s a space to come together with like-minded leaders from across regions and backgrounds—to be refreshed, equipped, and sent back to your local communities with renewed vision and practical tools for songwriting in the context of the local church.

Over three days in Greenville, you’ll experience worship, practical teaching, collaborative co-writing, song shares, and intentional connection with other worship leaders and songwriters. Our hope is that these days will not only strengthen what God is doing here, but will also overflow into your own churches and cities as you continue to write and cultivate community where you are.

Whether you’re local or traveling in, seasoned or just beginning, you’ll find encouragement, challenge, and a community that values your voice and the unique expression God has placed within you.

What to Expect

  • Worship, foundational teaching, and hands-on songwriting exercises

  • Co-writing sessions with guided support
