Disciple, develope & deploying the next generation of worship leaders
Grounded in Scripture and a biblical philosophy of worship, this course equips worship leaders and musicians with the spiritual foundation, musical skill, and leadership tools needed to serve the Church with excellence and humility.
Students will grow in their ability to lead confidently, flow with a band, respond to the Holy Spirit, and foster genuine congregational engagement while sharpening their craft through practical instruction in setlist curation, rehearsal leadership, and team dynamics. Ultimately, this course prepares students not just for the stage, but for a life of servant leadership, intentional discipleship, and Spirit-led ministry in the local church and beyond.
Worship is not limited to music or Sunday services but is the whole-life response to God for which we were created, flowing from hearts captivated by His beauty and rooted in love, awe, and surrender. This two-semester course traces the Biblical story of worship from Genesis to Revelation, exploring how worship shapes identity and vocation from Eden to the New Creation.
More than a theology class, it is an invitation to encounter the Living God through Scripture, prayer, and reflection, creating space for the Holy Spirit to bring transformation, healing, and purpose.
Diving into tone, technique, fluency, dynamics, and musical choices, students will develop a strong harmonic and rhythmic foundation, all within the context of serving a worship environment. Students will learn to play skillfully and technically, while still supporting the song and creating a space for people to engage with God.
Exploring how God models the creative process in Scripture, we’ll learn ways to partner with the Holy Spirit from ideation to formation to execution to collaboration, and finally, the completion of creative works.
True leadership flows from receiving from Jesus, reveling in Him, and revealing Him to the world, and this course traces His character and ministry throughout Scripture to show what that looks like in practice.
Students will examine how Jesus abided in the Father, embraced His identity, loved extravagantly, suffered faithfully, and discipled others, then be invited to cultivate those same realities through the secret place, spiritual authority, and Christlike obedience.
More than a skills course, this is a formation experience, shaping students in the image of Christ for the sake of those they lead.
Exploring how God models the creative process in Scripture, we’ll learn ways to partner with the Holy Spirit from ideation to formation to execution to collaboration, and finally, the completion of creative works.
Building on an existing foundation in music theory and musicianship, this course equips students to apply theory directly in practical contexts including songwriting, arranging, and spontaneous music-making, with an emphasis on in-depth song analysis, advanced harmonic functions, and creative application in modern worship.
The musicianship component develops ear training, rhythmic fluency, and ensemble skills, while a thorough review of essentials across all 12 keys ensures fluency in notes, intervals, scales, chords, and the Nashville Number System.
By the end of the course, students will not only understand the theoretical framework behind modern worship music but possess the tools to enhance existing arrangements or create new ones with confidence and creativity.
Guiding the next generation of worship leaders with wisdom, excellence, and care.
