To create a movement of consecrated disciples to see revival in the church and awakening in the nation.
What We Emphasize
Formation Over Performance
We value who you're becoming more than what you're accomplishing.
Mentorship Over Volume
A small group of just 12 students allows for deeper connection, intentional mentorship, and lasting community.
Depth Over Speed
One year of discipleship creates
space for lasting transformation

Who is this
School for?
Our worship school is intended for those who are already actively leading worship and writing songs in their local church. This is not entry-level, for those who want to learn an instrument or the basics of worship leading.

Students can expect a year marked by intentional formation, creative development, and real ministry experience.
Grow in your relationship with God through prayer, discipleship, and intentional rhythms that cultivate health and character.
Develop your skills in songwriting, worship leading, and studio recording through hands-on learning and guided feedback.
