CHICAGO, IL (November 19, 2015) – The general public is invited to participate in a one-day workshop on Christian songwriting to be held at North Park Theological Seminary from 9 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. Saturday, January 23. It is the weekend before the Midwinter Conference.

Hands-on training and learning labs equip both beginning and experienced songwriters to write better songs. Special attention is given to writing for multigenerational and intercultural settings.

The workshop is being offered as part of a one-credit, three-day weekend intensive offered Friday, January 22, to Sunday, January 24.

Andrew Thompson and Geoff Twigg will lead the workshop. Thompson is the founding and lead pastor of Columbia Grove Covenant Church in Wenatchee, Washington, a church known for the creative arts. His songs are sung by churches around the United States and Canada and have been featured at the Midwinter Conference.

Twigg studied at Trinity College of Music London and the University of London. He has won many major awards, including the Royal Philharmonic Society Prize and has toured extensively.
