training and activating  worshipers

The School of Worship (SOW) is a 5-month secondary school registered with the University of the Nations and is designed to take disciples to the next level of relationship with God and discipleship, exploring worship, and its many different aspects. The first 3 months are designed to cultivate an understanding of, and participation in, true Biblical worship. We bring in experienced leaders that share and impart their heart and understanding. That is followed by a 2-month outreach releasing that experience that experience in a cross-cultural setting.

Outreach & Ministry

The final two months of the program will focus on evangelism and outreach in a variety of missions and ministry settings. You will have the opportunity to receive and communicate God’s message to others while serving communities around the world. This may include engaging locals through worship, partnering with churches and ministries, and leading worship in a variety of settings—from worshipping in a remote village to lifting up His name in the middle of a city street. Wherever we go, our desire is to be His mouthpiece and bring the gospel to those who are among the least reached.

We believe music has the unique ability to cross barriers and create connections between people, regardless of language, nationality, culture, or beliefs. Through singing, building relationships within communities, teaching music to those who are eager to learn, and leading public worship and proclamation concerts, we seek to share the heart of God with others.

Outreach is about more than simply sharing a message—it is about valuing people and building genuine relationships. We desire to approach evangelism in a way that is culturally relevant, relational, and sacrificial, giving of ourselves so that the Kingdom of God can be established and lives can be transformed.

You will also have opportunities to lead creative projects and take on meaningful responsibilities within the team. These experiences will allow you to grow in leadership, creativity, collaboration, and ministry.

Cross-Cultural Ministry

As part of the outreach experience, you will have opportunities to travel to cross-cultural locations and help equip and disciple others. You may have the chance to minister in local communities, lead worship and intercession sets, facilitate music workshops, and record and produce songs in a variety of languages.

Through these experiences, you will encounter worship in diverse cultures and settings while learning how to serve, lead, and communicate across cultural boundaries. Our hope is that you will not only experience the beauty of worship around the world, but also become equipped to carry God’s heart into places and communities that have yet to hear the gospel.

WHO WE ARE

CHARACTER

The foundation of any worship ministry is a life totally dedicated to following a deeper relationship with God. We desire to train students to pursue a daily walk with God that produces greater freedom and openness in their relationships with others. The “true” worshipers that Jesus talks about in John 4 are those who are not showy or fake but whose lives fully reflected all they portray in front of others. We aim for honesty and integrity in daily lives and in ministry.

KNOWLEDGE

Biblical principles regarding aspects of worship leading help the students gain valuable understanding for a solid grounding in this ministry. We teach foundational principles of Thanksgiving, Praise, and Worship along with Leadership and Teamwork. Special emphasis is given to the working together of worship and prayer along with the leading, guiding, and gifts of the Holy Spirit. Regular written assignments contribute to the students personal growth. For example, a 3-month continuing study of the Book of Psalms which highlights the power of lyrics and express our hearts of God.

SKILLS

All students are given the opportunity to develop creativity and musical skills, especially in songwriting and music theory, unlocking and releasing talents that God could use for his glory. There is optional training in guitar, keyboard, bass, drums, vocal, and song production. An important ingredient of the school is gaining an understanding and skills in cross-cultural expressions of worship as preparation for ministry in other nations and cultures.
