TESTIMONIALS

Zac Hagerty is one of the best worship pastors I have served under. He cares for his team and builds them up by giving them the freedom to explore creativity, take risks, and even make mistakes in the process. His insights are beyond valuable for worship team members, worship leaders, and worship pastors of all experience levels. I highly recommend taking a hold of his resources and gleaning from his wisdom.

Praise and worship are more than an add-on in the church world. They’re more than music and have a vital role in the kingdom. God is raising up young voices to speak powerful truths that lead us to wonderful places with God. Zac is one of those voices, and he truly carries a message that needs to be heard.
