WHAT IS SCHOOL OF WORSHIP?

The SAINT School of Worship is an 11 month programme starting in September 2024 for worship leaders aged 18-25, that aims to see a generation of worship leaders walk into the fullness of who God has called them to be, and to be equipped theologically and spiritually to lead the Church into deep intimacy and encounter with God through worship.
With tailor made sessions and masterclasses, as well as 1-2-1s with experienced worship leaders throughout the year, this course is designed for individuals who want to invest in their gifts and grow as musicians and ministers of worship. Register your interest today to find out more.

IDENTITY
Come and learn what it means to be fully alive in Christ and grow in a deeper understanding of who you are in Him. Identity is such a key part to the life of a worshipper and a worship leader – it helps us realise the place of which we’re leading from, and School of Worship aims for you to flourish in your God given identity.

COMMUNITY
Community is at the centre of the SAINT School of Worship – we really believe that it takes a village to raise a child. The school program will give students lots of time to be embedded into the SAINT community, as well as be a part of a growing worship crew. Come be inspired by other creatives and worshippers from all walks of life.

EXPERIENCE
God inhabits the praises of His people! The more time we spend in the presence of God, the more we become like him. We want to create loads of space throughout the year to press into His presence, and to see breakthrough and healing in our lives and the lives around us. Come expectant to see God move in beautiful ways.

DEVELOPMENT
We are committed to your development – as you grow, we all grow! Together, we’ll take a deep dive into the practicalities of worship leading, character formation, leadership, and much more!

CONFIDENCE
We want individuals to grow deeply in their confidence of who they are, and their confidence as a musician and worship leader. Students will get many opportunities throughout the weeks of each term to lead in different contexts big and small, and lots of opportunities to step out of your comfort zone and try out giftings!

OVERVIEW & FAQ’S

TEACHING
Tuesday afternoons will be a mix of formational masterclasses, seminars, and practical sessions – everything from music, to theology! Input will be from a whole host of leaders and teachers – both on team at SAINT and from all around the world.

FORMATION
Community is the heart-beat of the School of Worship, so we will dedicate time throughout the week to hang out and dig in as we journey the year together. Alongside this you will be coached and mentored throughout the year by individuals who will journey alongside you in your faith and walk as a worship leader.

READING & ASSIGNMENTS
During the year, we will set you assignments so you can put into practice all that you are learning throughout the course.
