Publish Songs &amp; Hymns<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Publish songs and hymns that deepen the worship of the Church, engaging with themes and styles that broaden its language of worship and reflecting the richness of scripture and diversity of Christian discipleship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Serve the Church<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Serve the church by producing and modelling songs and hymns that encourage and enable congregational singing, that are not built around personalities and performing artists, but treat the congregation as the most important voice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Grow the Talent Pool<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Grow &amp; diversify the pool of talent by discovering, nurturing and giving a platform to writers outside the few dominant labels, with a particular focus on UK sources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Champion the Grassroots Writer<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Champion the role of the grass-roots songwriter as a unique voice in each local church, resourcing them to help grow their skills and provide a healthy balance alongside the globalised song-sources and traditional repertoire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Develop Community<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Develop community among songwriters that leads to wider accountability, greater skill, deeper understanding and a mutual, organic sharing of songs across churches that is independent of market systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Value Writers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Value the writer as a person and member of the wider church they serve, through publishing models that favour creatives over corporations and which are relational, generous &amp; empowering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7. Work in Partnership<\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Work in partnership with churches, organisations and other publishers, to pursue greater creativity and to model generous kingdom values throughout the industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns alignwide is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-2 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-1 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-top has-white-background-color has-background is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"653\" src=\"https:\/\/shwf.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/resArtboard-1@2x-100-1024x653.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-122\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shwf.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/resArtboard-1@2x-100-1024x653.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/shwf.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/resArtboard-1@2x-100-300x191.jpg 300w, https:\/\/shwf.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/resArtboard-1@2x-100-768x489.jpg 768w, https:\/\/shwf.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/resArtboard-1@2x-100-1536x979.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/shwf.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/resArtboard-1@2x-100-2048x1305.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Resound Worship<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-light-gray-background-color has-background\">Established in 2006, contemporary songs for worship as well as a global community of local church songwriters through the 12 Song Challenge and monthly podcast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button has-custom-width wp-block-button__width-100 is-style-outline\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"http:\/\/www.resoundworship.org\" style=\"border-radius:11px;background:linear-gradient(135deg,rgb(243,174,155) 0%,rgb(243,174,155) 100%)\">RESOUND WORSHIP WEBSITE<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"652\" src=\"https:\/\/shwf.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/jub-and-resArtboard-2@2x-100-1024x652.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-123\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shwf.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/jub-and-resArtboard-2@2x-100-1024x652.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/shwf.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/jub-and-resArtboard-2@2x-100-300x191.jpg 300w, https:\/\/shwf.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/jub-and-resArtboard-2@2x-100-768x489.jpg 768w, https:\/\/shwf.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/jub-and-resArtboard-2@2x-100-1536x979.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/shwf.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/jub-and-resArtboard-2@2x-100-2048x1305.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-black-color has-text-color\">Jubilate<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-light-gray-background-color has-background\">Hymns and songs for worship from some of the most popular and prolific British authors and composers of the 20th century and early 21st.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button has-custom-width wp-block-button__width-100 is-style-outline\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"http:\/\/www.jubilate.co.uk\" style=\"border-radius:11px;background:linear-gradient(135deg,rgb(243,174,155) 0%,rgb(243,174,155) 100%)\">JUBILATE WEBSITE<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"How Delightful Is Your Dwelling (Psalm 84) \/\/ Resound Worship\" width=\"580\" height=\"326\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/bBoCCWUM-pk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer;
