Alvin Slaughter
Worship Leader/Singer-Song Writer
Alvin Slaughter, Dove Award and Stellar Award nominee has been ministering with True Worshipers for the past eighteen (18) years and has been one of our workshop coaches for the past five (5) years. He has been a pivotal part of the growth of praise and worship in the Church. The former lead male vocalist of the multiple GRAMMY Award-winning Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir is known for his cross-cultural songs and a smooth blending of gospel and contemporary Christian music, creating a style that’s uniquely his own.
Alvin epitomizes the phrase, "Success is a journey, not a destination." He spent years living life as a defeated Christian. The effects of bankruptcy, foreclosure, welfare, low self-esteem, and a troubled marriage ruled his life until 1990 when he discovered a whole other world outside the four corners of his mind.
Nine albums later, his latest being the Billboard charting “Overcomer”, Alvin has made a name for himself in the genre of praise and worship. Accolades have followed, including Dove Award nominations for Praise & Worship Album of the Year, Contemporary Black Gospel Album of the Year, and Contemporary Black Gospel Song of the Year, as well as a Stellar Award nomination for Best Male Solo Performance. He’s nurtured a career that’s seen him speak and sing globally in South America, Asia, Europe, Africa, the Caribbean, and throughout the United States, racking up millions of miles on the road.
“My focus has expanded from just music to blending the ministry of music, inspirational speaking, and writing — empowering people not just to live passively, sort of looking at their lives as something that they cannot control, but to live passionately, finding the courage and power within to live their lives on God's terms for them and not someone else's,” says Alvin.
He delivers a passionate, enthusiastic, and entertaining message to teach and encourage you to celebrate your individuality and breakthrough to become your ‘greater self.’ His inspiring message is based upon lessons learned in his breakthrough journeys. Alvin is committed to helping others worldwide apply these principles in their lives and relationships. In his unique, uncompromising style, he brings life-changing principles and leadership skills that have inspired and motivated thousands across age, gender, and denominational lines.
Pastor Alvin Slaughter will assist us this academic year by conducting our intensive power-packed Worship Leader Workshop, in which he will pour his treasured trove of knowledge into our Worship Leaders.
These workshops are exclusive to True Worshipers Training Center registered students and will not be advertised or publicly available.

Various practices and instruction sessions will be outlined, to ensure that the worship Leader gains absolute proficiency in the field.
COACHING
Your expert coaches will guide you, on the task to be accomplished, ensuring that you are always focused and encouraged to achieve the goals necessary to complete the task at hand.
We will even attempt to solve unique problems, discovered only by questioning and also explore various possibilities to resolve these unique problems.
MENTORING

YOUR SUCCESS
At True Worshippers Training Center your success is 100% guaranteed!
You will have the privilege of being trained, coached, and mentored to be both a confident and a competent Worship Pastor, Jody Mccalla, and by the world-renowned Gospel Singer/ Song Writer ALVIN SLAUGHTER who will conduct our Workshop.
True Worshipers Training Center is committed to ensuring that each Worship Leader will receive all the comprehensive and practical tools that will equip them not only to become trained and ordained Ministers of Music, but also equip them to, in turn, train and develop the performance skills of others, including of their own praise teams and choir members.
Unfortunately in most churches, the Minister of Music, though ordained as a minister, has never been trained to be an effective music minister and more often than not, was merely selected based on their ability to be a good psalmist and subsequently was thrown into the deep, without the proper tools to effectively and successfully deal with all the different needs and requirements of today's music ministry. That is about to change.
At True Worshipers Training Center, the Worship Leader will receive a very clear and engaging understanding, of the practical application of the biblical foundations of worship that is scripturally grounded and governed, that is gospel-filled and Spiritually empowering, that will equip the Worship Leader to raise the bar of worship, not just on the stage, but most importantly in the lives of the entire congregation and subsequently the entire community.
