There are two separate elements to our School of Worship:

  • WORSHIP TRAINING DAYS
    which are one-off days dotted throughout the year, with instrument-specific streams, open to all by booking tickets below

  • THE 9-MONTH LEADERSHIP PROGRAMME STARTING OCT ‘23
    (now closed for ‘23-’24 applications)


WORSHIP TRAINING DAYS
Next event: Saturday 27th April 2024, 9.30am–4.30pm

These days are designed for members of worship teams from churches across the Diocese of Southwell & Nottingham and beyond. (You needn’t be part of this year’s Leadership Programme cohort to come along!)

The day’s aim is for all to be encouraged, developed and resourced as those who serve regularly in contemporary worship. We focus on growth as musicians, playing as a band and considering how we lead our congregations. 

A number of experienced worship leaders and musicians from across the UK will be leading workshop sessions on modern contemporary worship. There will be workshops for Vocals, Drums, Bass, Keyboards, Acoustic & Electric Guitar.
