Welcome to Smalltownworshipleader.com! Yes, the blog is about exactly what it sounds like, a smalltown worship leader. My name is Stewart and I lead worship for a Calvary Chapel in Prineville, Oregon. It’s a town of about 10,000 people. We probably have about 200 people who would call our church, “Home”, but probably average between 150-180 people a service.
I will have lived in Prineville for three years this October. Prior to moving here, I lived in Arizona, and prior to that, I’d lived in Washington for 9 years. All that to say, God’s plans are certainly greater than mine! Before I moved up to Prineville, I’d pretty much set my heart on moving back to Washington, but decided I’d visit this church in Prineville, Oregon, called, “Calvary Chapel of Crook County”. Un until then I’d never even heard of Prineville, at least that I could remember. So I visited the church in the early Spring of 2005, and ended up realizing that it just seemed liked the place I was being called. A few months later I moved up, and the rest is HIStory.
It’s truly amazing how the Lord has been there to lead me along the way, even when I thought I was all alone.
I’ve started this website as a means to share my journey with others, and in hopes that others might be inspired to share as well. If you’d like to join my site, just shoot me a message and I’ll sign you up. I want this to be a place for discussion, encouragement, sharing, and just having an all around good time.
Be Blessed!

Hey Ben (can I call you Ben?),
good to meet you! I use to live in the Bellevue/Issaquah area, and I’m pretty sure I’ve been to Oak Harbor before, but I can’t remember why.
How long have you been there?
Prayer, eh? Well, I can always use prayer that I would do a better job of leading people into gathered worship of Jesus. I think it requires loving Jesus more, which I know I need to do.
Also, we are really looking hard for an assistant worship leader to come along side of me and help with leading, and various other things.
How about yourself? What kind of prayer requests do you have?
