INTIMACY WITH GOD

In this school we will not only address practical topics about worship ministry. While this is very important, our service to God is unsustainable if there is no fruit of a healthy spiritual life.

With this in mind, we want to start from the inside out, providing classes on character formation, identity in Christ, soul health and  knowing our value in Christ. We believe that who we are internally will always be more important than what we do externally.

CREATIVITY

Did you know that creativity is something that can be developed?! Many of us believe the lie that creativity is something that comes when we are highly inspired. The truth is that creativity is a muscle that needs to be developed in us, and the more we strengthen ourselves, the more natural the creative process will be.

Therefore, in this school we will have workshops that will give you practical tools to develop creativity through composition, musicality, band dynamics and interaction with other creatives.

LEADERSHIP

Regardless of our role in ministry, we were called to influence and disciple, so we will have classes on the principles of Jesus’ leadership. We’ll also give you specific leadership tools that will help you lead people, ministries, bands, small groups, and most of all your own life.

Our team:

Our team is made up of people who have been working in the praise and worship ministry for many years, and who have a great passion for seeing the Church of Jesus Christ having a healthy worship life.
