Three days in, I was already amazed at all I had learned and ways I was growing... My confidence as a leader and as a person grew exponentially. However, the single most important thing I learned the whole year was how to hear the voice of my Father.

CLASSES OFFERED

Our class offerings are designed to take students deep into biblical studies, leadership development, ministry experience, and technical training.

 

Songwriting

Everyone has a song within themselves. This course is simple - provide inspiration, guidance, and feedback to remove hinderances to finding your song that the Father sung into you.

Band Dynamics

This class is designed to help worship leaders grow in their band leadership and musical vocabulary. Worship leaders will learn how to communicate to different instruments, effectively run rehearsals and teach new songs. Classes include: music theory, nashville numbers and charts, prophetic musicianship and instruments.

Davidic Worship

This class surveys the life, tabernacle, and worship leadership of David. Students will dive deep into the man after God’s own heart, unpacking who he was as God’s prototype for a worship leader, and how he prophetically foreshadows Jesus Christ. Integral to the life of David is the tabernacle of David. Students will analyze the narrative, liturgy, and theology of the Davidic tabernacle and discover their role in the unfolding restoration of David’s worship expression on the earth.

Psalms

This class will aim to tackle the main themes of the Psalms. They are more than King David’s personal journaling, they are a collection of songs, prayers, poems, and prophecies that were intended to be Israel’s prayer manual and worship hymn book. This class will provide a basic overview and understanding of the purpose and narrative of the book of Psalms.

Worship Leader Practicum

This skills class focuses on developing and enhancing students' prophetic musicianship, both instrumentally and vocally, in live worship contexts. Students will receive focused and practical teaching on prophetic musicianship and in-class opportunities to activate and cultivate the skills they learn in a live band environment.
