The purpose of this site is to equip the
body of Christ throughout the world to draw
near to the Lord Jesus Christ in worship. Here you will find chord
charts, new songs, events, reviews, mp3 samples, testimonies - in fact
everything you need to know about the ministry.
If you wish to enquire about a booking for
your worship event ; conference; gig; seminar, or simply invite me to
one of your church services, please go to my Contact
page. It would be an honour to serve you in this way. All
requests will be prayerfully considered.
This site is updated regularly, so please come back soon.
Thanks for visiting my site and I hope and
pray that it will be a blessing to you.

NEWS
Podcast
Due to unforseen problems I will unfortunately not be continuing
with the podcast (technical difficulties) but I will continue
with the online video diary - mattmcchlery.com TV. I will try
to update the video diary soon.
New EP due to be launched in July! Exciting news! Due to demand for some of the songs I sung at
a recent concert in Wisbech, I have put together a 4-track EP,
including some of my not-so-conventional worship songs, as well as a
protest song and a song about social justice. I've recorded it in my
bedroom! (so not a studio album). It's called 'Miscellaneous'
because it doesn't really fit into any box and its veered away from
what I normally write, but I hope you enjoy it all the same.
Watch this website for more details!
Greenbelt Festival 08
Although I am not officially singing at Greenbelt this year, I am
involved with helping to run the youth stage in the youth tent as
well as giving a seminar about 'Leading Worship' to the
teenagers. I'll also be doing a bit of unofficial busking!
Hope to see you there?
mattmcchlery.com TV launched!
New for the month of February, I have launched a new web-cast
where I introduce a new song through a video. Mp3 demos can be
downloaded for free from my myspace
and chord charts are available from my songs
page. Check out my first web-isode today!
Thematic song index now available!
To help those of you who are searching for new songs to sing in
your church, I have added relevant themes to the various
songs of mine that you can hear online, print off and use.
Just go to the 'Songs' page.
'Back Catalogue' coming soon
Some feedback I have recently received asked me why I only have
a limited number of chord charts and audio samples of my songs
available for your to access and play in your churches, when l
have written so many more? Don't worry! I'm working on
it and thanks to your suggestions a complete back catalogue will
soon be available for you to choose from as well as the more
popular 'published' works. All songs are registered with
CCLI so you can play any of them, anywhere in the world, legally.
New FREE Song 'Chema'
I have recently written a protest song called 'Chema' (which
means cry) about the situation in Zimbabwe. If you want to
listen to it or save it (for free) it is now available on my 'Songs'
page.
Songs & chord charts for you to use at church
I have been working for some time to update my 'songs' page with
new chord charts and audio samples for you to use at your
churches. They are available on the
'Songs' page now, so go and check them out! Why not
leave comments about them on my blog? There is also
information about CCLI (Christian Copyright Licensing
International) which tells you how you can use the songs legally.
Retreat With Tim Hughes and Al Gordon (Worship Central)
I had an absolutely fantastic time away with some super-amazing
people! I learnt so much about practical worship
leading. Its such a big job, but with God, nothing is
impossible. Anyway - thanks to those who prayed for he and
this event. Tim even helped me with some ideas on writing
one of my songs. It's called 'Ten Thousand Thousand'.
