About Practice to Platform 

Practice to Platform (PTP) is a web-based training resource founded in 2018 to develop the musical and leadership skills needed to effectively lead congregational worship. Whether the desire is to become a worship instrumentalist or vocalist, these eight courses designed by Zac James can take musicians from scratch to fully-equipped worship team members.

Zac enjoys spending time with the kiddos, networking with worship leaders, video games, card/board games, and occasional rounds of golf and disc golf.

 
"Oftentimes, people don't believe they are capable of learning a worship role...but in Scripture, we see that Jesus sees potential leadership in places we wouldn't expect. In other words, God sees potential in us that others might not see. I'd love to help you realize that potential. Take a course, put in the practice, and you never know what could happen. Let's start preparing you to serve in worship ministry in your local church."
