IN THE WORKS…
THE WORSHIP SCHOOL
The Worship School© is an intensive course for Worship Leaders, Music ministers, Musicians and Gospel Artistes. It pulls together relevant knowledge and resources from the wealth of experience of major players in the Music ministry, industry and in Christian entertainment; under a structured learning environment.
The maiden edition of The Worship School was designed in a Seminar cum Lecture style, accommodating a degree of flexibility in the delivery of knowledge, but without indoctrination. Each facilitator was prayerfully selected and delivered in the areas where we believe they have made much impact. It was life-changing and memorable for both the facilitators and participants.
The primary goal of The Worship School is to empower and mature Praise-Worship Leaders/Musicians; and to prepare them for the work of ministry. With a successful launch of it's pilot edition, we hope to replicate this in many places. Please take the poll below if you would be interested. Thank you!
