WORSHIP TEAM TRAINING

Spring 2026 Application

WorshipArts Worship Teams

For 16 years, WorshipArts has been helping student singers and musicians learn the skills needed to join a church or youth group worship team. Our goal is to help students bridge the gap between their current abilities, and what’s required to become a helpful, active part of a worship team.

The bulk of the program is built like a church worship team rehearsal night. Students come in, get set and sound checked and do a devotion in the Psalms. We’ll work through new and old music together, talking through how the whole team should rise/fall, and how each section should sound, and then we’ll go through and give help and tips to individuals on how they can contribute to that sound.

We’ll talk through the meaning of our lyrics, and have discussions on making song lists, on prayer and praise. We’ll talk through preparation and what success looks like for a worshiper and for a worship leader.

Our season ends with worship nights led by our students, where family and friends are invited to come sing to the Lord together.

We teach beginning to advanced students in:

  • Singing

  • Keyboard

  • Bass Guitar

  • Electric & Acoustic Guitar

  • Drums & Percussion

  • Stringed instruments (Violin, Cello, etc.)

  • Brass Instruments (Trumpet, Sax, etc.)
