worship leaders
Church service conductors
Worship leaders are people who guide congregational singing and musical worship in Christian churches.
The role emerged with contemporary worship music in evangelical and charismatic traditions, where a worship leader typically plays guitar or keyboards while leading the congregation through songs: The worship leader opened with three praise songs before the sermon.
The term reflects a shift from traditional choir directors toward a more informal, performance-oriented style of church music.
