“I’m so grateful for the community I’ve been able to grow up in because of a program like this. If you’re a musician looking to play at your church or just play more music I would look into and try a worship team at WorshipArts.”

““My son has been part of WorshipArts for four years. He started with acoustic guitar and now does electric and most recently bass. Peter is so encouraging to all of the WorshipArts kids. It’s become an important community for my son. I would highly recommend this program.””

“WorshipArts had a huge effect on my life. It was my first experience that really set a fire in me to worship the Lord through music. Peter sets such a great culture of knowing God and His power as the King of Kings. No matter where you are at in your skill level, beginning or been at it for a while, you will learn from WorshipArts. Peter is a deep well of knowledge and it comes completely from knowing Christ!”

“My daughter started WorshipArts several years ago. She was new to playing acoustic guitar and was very shy and would not sing in front of people. She is now a confident guitar player that not only sings, but lead worship at our church. This program provides a nurturing environment that helps budding young musicians to achieve their fullest potential. This program not only help her grow as a musician but also deepened her faith as a Christian. ”

“I loved camp so much that I decided to sign up for a worship team with some of my friends. Being on this team showed me I could do way more than I had previously believed I could. Overall my relationship with the Lord has grown beyond what I had expected it to because of my experiences in WorshipArts. ”

“The very first season of WA was exactly the start she needed! Peter truly has a gift for working with kids: he knew just how hard to gently push my daughter. He saw the potential she had when she didn’t quite believe it. Peter’s knowledge, encouragement, and leadership gave my child the environment to be comfortable to learn how to use her talents for the Lord. ”

“If you’re even considering WorshipArts, just sign up. I know jumping into something isn’t everyones style, but I’d encourage you to take a leap here. As an alumni of WA, I can tell you in honesty that even 4 years after I started, I am still reaping the benefits of what was sown into me by Peter Webb and the community.”

“My youngest daughter was a fearful little thing and was afraid of her own shadow, literally someone I would never have put in front of people to lead them in worship! But because of her growth, she now leads worship at our church! We are very grateful for all the love that both Peter and his wife Tori, has poured into not only my kids but all the youth of Kalamazoo. Their ministry is ESSENTIAL. “”

“I was expecting to learn how to play worship music and maybe grow my guitar and singing skills. But I grew so much more through WorshipArts. I’ve learned lessons about the Lord and how to better worship Him from Peter and my fellow students, as well as to grow out of my shell to be more outgoing and confident in speaking in front of and leading people. ”

“I started WorshipArts when I was in middle school and can honestly say that was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I’ve met half my friends through WorshipArts and they’re all a blessing to me. I would definitely recommend WorshipArts if you want to grow closer to God or if you want to learn how to lead worship or play an instrument.”

“My son has learned how to blend his previous musical knowledge with chords, how to work with a team, and how to do all this from a posture of worship. ”

“I’ve had an absolutely amazing time in WorshipArts! I have been able to grow closer to God and improve my skills in things like worship, music and God-centered skit performance. I spent a large portion of my teenage years in WorshipArts because I loved it so much! ”

“I love WorshipArts because we always have fun and build community while learning about and worshiping Jesus. Therefore, I would easily recommend WorshipArts to anyone and everyone!”

“I learned to trust God so much more and that worship is more than just singing a song to the Lord. I love how welcoming, friendly, and encouraging the atmosphere is at WorshipArts and I highly recommend it to any student looking to expand their skills in music & worship leading and also make friends in an awesome Christ-centered community.”

“I grew from WorshipArts not only in my music abilities but also in my faith. I not only gained an understanding of what real worship is, but also in my Bible knowledge! In everything we did, Peter reminded us that one, it’s okay to mess up, and two, it is all for the glory of God! Even our messes, He takes that and makes it into beauty!”

“Bro, let me tell you WorshipArts has changed. my. life. I remember being the kid who knew all the Sunday School answers but didn’t really know what my own relationship with the Lord looked like. Then WorshipArts came along and wow through something I had always believed myself unskilled at, music, I was able to grow way closer to God and realize who He is on a deeper level.”

“My daughter has flourished in individual lessons, the drama team, and a worship team. She is naturally quiet, but WorshipArts has helped her expand her horizons and push her boundaries in a supportive environment. She is motivated by both Peter and her teammates to practice and do her best. She enjoyed learning the bass guitar so much that she is now learning electric guitar. Peter’s methods get the kids playing actual music right away which is encouraging and motivating.”

“As someone who came in to WorshipArts already knowing the basics of piano and vocals, being a part of the worship teams and Voices really helped me be more confident in using the skills I had and implementing them to the best of my ability for God’s glory. Now, rather than just feeling competent in a particular instrument, I feel confident in my ability to lead worship. ”

“Who should sign up for WorshipArts? Literally everyone! It’s an amazing place to learn all kinds of things, I have learned how to run sound, set up sound systems, as well as troubleshoot sounds systems, learned so much about lights and stage lighting. I have been able to be the tech director of 2 different churches from the knowledge and experience I gained from WorshipArts.”

“What I like about WorshipArts is that it’s so focused around giving God the glory, and focusing on worshipping in spirit and truth above anything else. The community there is very welcoming and everyone is working to improve around you and helping you to improve as well.”

“My daughter is quite comfortable singing in a worship group but WorshipArts has taught her to LEAD worship! Peter Webb has encouraged students to write, perform and record their own material. His infectious love of Christ is the tie that binds this program together, making my student want to return year after year!”

“My daughter was a part of WorshipArts for several years in high school. As a parent who was always careful about how our family spent our time and resources, WorshipArts was a place I was glad to do both. She not only improved in playing her instruments (voice and guitar), but she also learned how to play as a band, learn music quickly, and perform in front of others. ”

“I’d only recently, maybe 3-4 months beforehand, gotten saved when I joined WorshipArts. I now play every week at my church, leading worship and playing guitar and I lead a bible study as well. I firmly believe that the Holy Spirit worked through WorshipArts to help me become more planted upon the solid Rock of Christ.    ”

“Before joining WorshipArts I had never played on a worship team, had never spoken publicly, and I had a pretty bad case of stage fright. Since joining WorshipArts, I joined the Sunday morning worship team at my church before launching into the mission field. I am currently stationed in Iquitos, Peru, where I will am using the skills I learned through WorshipArts to spread the gospel to the native Peruvians!”

“I’m a working perfectionist, learning that there’s nothing wrong with starting from the bottom and asking for help. God doesn’t love me any less, and I am not any less of a person if I am not perfect. My worth and value is found only in the eyes of my Savior. Truly believing this and living it out has been and is a work in progress, but I can say WorshipArts played a role in grounding these truths in me. I have more confidence in myself and in stepping out into the unknown. ”

“I’ve gained confidence and am now a part of several youth group worship teams, as well as playing for several other events. I must say, I never thought I’d have advanced so much in technique, skill, and my spiritual life. Peter’s done an excellent job pushing me to new heights in areas I never thought I’d be a part of.

WorshipArts doesn’t end when you leave. The relationships, experiences, and talents gained will forever be a significant part of your life.  I can’t emphasize enough how those relationships have impacted my life. I can’t imagine where I would be without these guys.”

“I was involved with WorshipArts for about 4 years. It’s GOOD stuff. No program or ministry has ever stretched me so much as WorshipArts did. Peter Webb is so good at pulling the best out of kids/teens. WorshipArts was the reason I started my photography business. I don’t know who or where I would be today if it wasn’t for WorshipArts. So blessed.”

“Before WorshipArts I had very little training when it came to worship leading. I had a deep relationship with Christ, but I felt like I was being called to share that relationship through worship. I now am co-leading the Sunday worship team at my church. WorshipArts taught me that every single person on stage is a ‘worship leader.’ The whole point of worshipping at a church, or other gatherings, is that God calls for a unified community seeking to glorify him with pure intentions.”

“To me WorshipArts has been a place where I can learn how to connect with people and make a connection with the Lord. Being in the program helped me kick start my relationship with the Lord. It brought me back to a place that matters in a relationship with God, and taught me different ways to worship Him.”

“My experience with WorshipArts has been a cultural experience, more the building of a new family than just an after school program. Through WorshipArts, I got to learn new skills and have the ability to apply them in a worship team. Peter would say “hey, try this out,” and I would get to learn a new way to play my instrument. ”

“When I started I wasn’t really involved with the Lord and I just didn’t have much of a relationship with God. But then I started WorshipArts then I was encouraged to pursue a relationship with Him. And now where I stand with Him is amazing.

There are no words than can describe what it’s meant to me. Without the people in WorshipArts, without Peter and Tori, or just anybody in WorshipArts my life would look so different and I would probably be a total mess.”

“To me WorshipArts is a place where I can grow and use my talents to worship God. Spiritually it has really encouraged me to seek out God more and show me all that He has done for us, how powerful God really is in our lives and encourage me to seek Him out more. My skills have improved as a worship leader and I feel that I can genuinely worship God while leading others to do the same.”

“I’ve been a part of WorshipArts for six years, and to me WorshipArts is a community that has made me who I am today. It’s ministry training and it’s teaching us how to worship but it’s also a community where we can grow and learn together and make friends and have a family. ”
