Our Team

Behind PraiseCharts is a team of musicians, worship leaders and worshipers who have a desire to unleash contemporary worship music to churches all over the world using the Internet. Since 1998, we have welcomed more than 100,000 musicians and worship leaders from around the world to our list of users. PraiseCharts has also developed a growing relationship with some of the major publishers like Integrity Music, Hillsong, Word Music, Worship Together and Brentwood-Benson. On that foundation, they have built a network of arrangers who know the songs you want to sing, and know-how to arrange them so they are playable by church musicians and singable by active congregations.
