Songwriter/Worship Leader Retreat

16–18 January 2026 (Fri–Sun)

This is a weekend for songwriters, worship leaders and musicians to be equipped and to create. We believe that giving yourself time to simply be in the presence of God is crucial, wonderful and allows beauty to emerge. We hope to weave our skills and gifts with heavenly encounter on this weekend. Come and receive:

  • Practical seminars on songwriting and worship leading
  • Songwriting workshops
  • Teaching from the bible
  • Worship
  • Prayer
  • Connection with other creatives
  • The breaking down of comparison and the fire of collaboration

We would love to welcome you here!

Who's speaking?

Fiona & Stephen Crowther

Fiona and Stephen are passionate about gathering, encouraging, and equipping worship leaders, songwriters, and musicians to serve the Church with skill and authenticity. They’ve been leading worship in a variety of contexts for over 10 years and are now worship leaders at Lee Abbey. They’d love you to join them to seek God’s face, hear His word, sing with friends, and walk away with renewed courage to serve. Also… they really like hot chocolate—so come and have some. They promise to bring marshmallows. They’ve been married for 6 years and have two young kids.

Sarah Grant

Sarah is passionate about seeing the church equipped in the area of worship for a new season of blessing and renewal. She lives in Wiltshire, is married to Gareth and is a full-time mum of two young children. She also runs 'Singing Mamas' - a secular weekly community group offering mothers support and connection through natural voice singing. Her training and experience in Singing Mamas has ignited new perspectives on what sung worship could look like in church contexts.
