icews - two week intensive

 

 

THE TWO-WEEK INTENSIVE PROGRAM is for experienced worship leaders (those with 3-5 years in current part or full-time worship leadership, and with pastoral recommendation). While the focus of much of the training will focus on worship leadership related ideas, music artists and others would also benefit from this program.

 

IDEAL CANDIDATE:

“I’ve been leading worship for many years in my church community. I’m well versed in the practics of leading worship, from arranging bands to administrating a worship community. While my experience level is high in practical skills, I’m hungry for a deeper study of the foundations of the faith – theologically, historically, culturally and spiritually. I want my worship leadership to be enriched by the classics of Church history, further study and reflection on the past and present, and by studies and discussion on spiritual formation."

 

DURATION: May 11—22, 2009

 

PROGRAM DETAILS:

Hosted on the beautiful grounds of the Dominion Hill Leadership Centre in New Brunswick, Canada, our two-week intensive certificate program is uniquely designed to enrich experienced worship leaders presently leading in local churches with insights from classical and Celtic Christianity, Ignatian spirituality, historical theology and the postmodern reflection.

Some advanced ideas in contemporary worship leadership will be explored, as well as arenas such as songwriting and leadership in emerging Church. Significant reading and some preparatory work will be part of the program, and the learning will be based on roundtable discussion (as opposed to a primarily lecture format).   Students will receive a Reflection Journal, as well as enjoying vital Christian learning in community during this time. Evaluation will be informal, and will be based on these journals.

 

FEES:

$2700 CAD (All inclusive, includes tuition, room & board at Dominion Hill, and certificate for 12 days)

We strongly recommend that the local church gets behind their worship leader, in a tangible way, in aiding him/her in coming to this Intensive. The local church stands the most to benefit from the deepening reflection of their worship leader(s), and it is a fitting model that the local church take a special offering to send their worship leader(s), or offer to subsidize the travel/tuition in some way. We also encourage worship leaders to come with a fellow worship leader, for learning friendships to enhance and enliven the learning once returning from the program.
