"For leaders looking to renew, enhance, or recreate the worship life of their congregation, I highly recommend tuning into Arlen Salte. Arlen has his pulse on what God is up to today in worship and at the same time he has a feel for where culture is moving. That combination makes his worship seminars among the best in North America. Best of all, Arlen embraces a graced-based Gospel, which makes his approach to worship all the more appealing."

Rev. Tim Wright - Pastor and Author, Community Church Of Joy, Glendale, Arizona

"I've been blessed by Arlen's "down to earth" passion for The Lord. He carries a sincere burden to see people experience the presence of God. I've seen this demonstrated in his worship leading style and in his teaching. A real professional with a servant's heart."

Paul Baloche - Integrity and Maranatha Recording Artist

"Arlen Salte is equipping churches to answer an emphatic 'yes' to the questions post-Christian culture is asking. Most importantly, he knows and honors the Church's worship story: two thousand years of celebrating, adoring, and responding to the Person of God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

Yet, as the top selling Canadian Christian recording artist in history, Arlen also knows that is not a message until it is communicated in a language people can understand. Consequently, Arlen has traveled the world, introducing irreligious people to the Savior through contemporary music and worship. Celebrations with substance...Father, Son, and Holy Spirit...but celebrations in a brave new container.

As we enter the next thousand years, it is not enough to have leaders who understand the past. It is not enough to have leaders who understand the present. We need leaders who understand both and are able to flesh out that understanding in practical, effective ministry. Arlen Salte is one of the few who fits that description."

"These youth were a part of a crowd of 17,000 youth and adults from all parts of the United States and other countries who gathered together in Denver for this event. Mr. Salte (was) in charge of music for the opening sessions, worship and various concerts throughout the five-day gathering.

I have worked with many musicians, and Christian speakers during my thirteen years as a DCE, however, I have never worked with such a talented and dedicated Christian musician and speaker as Arlen Salte. Arlen lives his music and message. He is not one who plays or speaks for the money; his commitment is that young people know that they are special to God and their Savior, and that they make a stand in this world of secularism and materialism."

Jim McConnell -Director of Christian Education
Our Savior Lutheran Church, Raleigh, North Carolina

"Arlen has that rare ability to articulate a message through succinct use of words and music that is rare in the contemporary Christian culture. We have hosted some of the biggest names in Christian music on our campus. Others may have larger production budgets, but no one is better at engaging the people in music. Those who invite Arlen to their campus will not be disappointed."
