Worship Training Network
Bringing worship renewal to every church and dynamic ministry training to every leader.
Worship Training in your Ministry Context
The Worship Training Network encourages and equips people to worship God, study worship, lead ministries, and train others. We believe that a close partnership between the academy and the church is powerful and effective for training church leaders for worship ministry. For students, we offer residential and remote learning opportunities in the classroom and in the church. For churches, we offer programs for worship development in your congregation, as well as opportunities to collaborate with other like-minded leaders for strategic training and mutual edification. Wherever you serve the local church, we can supply a creative strategy for worship development that fits any ministry context.
