I'm sorry to hear about your situation.
I've played in a few praise bands and I've had friends in similar situations.
Its very hard to present new ideas to people who have been doing it one way for so long.

I think this transition to a new leader could be a good opportunity to maybe have a time that everyone in the band could sit and discuss their thoughts on how the team can improve. Perhaps someone else in the band also feels like they're being left out.

If you feel wronged then you could go by what Christ says in Matthew 18:15. I also agree with getbent. To talk it over with someone (i.e. pastor, close friend) in love, not gossip and see what the Bible has to say about it. And of course, pray about it.

Also, if you feel so passionately about worship music and its ministry, perhaps you could find another forum for it. Maybe some where outside of the church walls. I think you may be able to better "spread His Word" that way.

Just remember that worship is all about Him, and that its way more than songs on a Sunday morning.
