SOW – School of Worship
CHR 261 – School of Worship
Starts August 1st, 2022 | Prerequisite: DSP 211 & 212 / Credits: 12
It is a YWAM second-level school, and its focus goes beyond artistic expressions and talents. The purpose of this school is to raise the worshipers and leaders who are learning to understand the ways of God and how to become like Him in every way. Our purpose is to train worshipers who are passionate about Jesus and His truth, trained with biblical foundations and also in different expressions of arts, not only to minister the heart of God and his people, but also to be effective in discipling the nations, called to expand the Kingdom of God within a cross-cultural scope with the tools they have in their hands being intentional in using them daily.
SOW Trains, Equips and Develops those involved in worship ministry to be effective in their area of influence. The school offers hands-on training for worship leaders or members of a worship team, in which we develop our worship leadership to serve the congregation with our general artistic skills, as well as by example in integrity, knowledge and character.
This course makes part of the College of Christian Ministries at the University of the Nations
The College of Christian Ministries recognizes and responds to the great need to equip Christian leaders for service in the Kingdom of God, whether that be through specific mission and church roles or in the broader community. Courses in evangelism, missions (frontier, urban and specific ethnic or religious groups) church planting, biblical studies, leadership, worship and intercession, and youth ministries incorporate personal character development along with specific training and focused prayer towards the goal of obeying Christ’s command to “go and make disciples of all nations…teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.” (Matt. 28:19-20)
Whether participating in a School of Missions, or joining in a leadership seminar, students learn, work, and worship together, with the goal of “seeking first the Kingdom of God” in the context of the broader mission of the University of the Nations: to know God, and to make Him known.
Graduates of these training programs (both those who work towards a degree and those who take one or two specialized training programs) have gone on to start new ministries, plant churches cross-culturally, train new believers, teach the Bible, set up youth ministry outreaches, and much more. Programs are individually planned with the student’s calling and desired learning goals in mind.
