Welcome to LEAD Worship Conference
Worship Leadership is a vital role in the church! Raising up future leaders who feel the Lord’s calling on their lives to pursue leading worship is also of utmost importance! It is crucial that the next generation of those who are called, are trained up properly and given opportunities to learn from experienced worship leaders! LEAD Worship Conference is on the cutting edge in the Charleston, SC area of providing a great opportunity for those students who know they are called into worship ministry, and also for those who may at this point just feel a stirring to possibly go in the direction of some kind of Christian music ministry!

Special guest:
Eddie Hoagland
Eddie was born and raised on the mission field in Mexico City, Mexico. His parents still serve in the church he grew up in.
At the age of 15 he began leading worship, which lead him to pursue his B.S. in Worship and Music Studies from Liberty University. After his undergraduate years, Eddie married Christina and moved to Chicago, IL where he served in various roles at Harvest Bible Chapel. During his time at Harvest, Eddie was a founding member of a worship band that would eventually become “Vertical Worship”.
Eddie is a Dove Award nominated songwriter of the song “Yes I Will”. In addition to his songwriting, he holds an M.F.A. degree in Music Composition for the Screen from Columbia College of Chicago. One of his most notable compositions was scoring the pilot episode of “The Chosen”. In addition to serving many years in worship ministry, Eddie also became a teaching pastor at Harvest Bible Chapel in 2019. He has a passion to teach and
lead in the local church in order to bring glory to God.
In 2021, Eddie and his family moved to Colorado Springs, CO to join the staff at New Life Church. He serves there as a Senior Executive Pastor overseeing the worship department as well as being the Young Adult ministry pastor. In his free time he enjoys watching movies with Christina and taking his kids to the park and the pool.
