THE POWER OF WORSHIP
From the beginning, humanity was made to worship. It is not a stage skill or a spiritual gift reserved for the few — it is the very reason we were created. God fashioned us in His image and breathed life into us so that we might know Him, glorify Him, and make Him known to every nation, tribe, and tongue.
"You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they were created and have their being."
— Revelation 4:11
We believe worship is one of the most powerful tools God has given His Church, not because of talent or production, but because when His people lift their voices in truth and spirit, something happens in the heavenly places. Come learn what it means to worship in Spirit and in truth.
worshiping in missions
The Worship DTS exists to bring you into a deeper, more intimate relationship with Jesus and to prepare you to lead others into His presence. This is not a performance program. It is a discipleship school that uses the gift of worship as a vehicle for the Great Commission.
"Go therefore and make disciples of all nations... teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you." — Matthew 28:19-20
Designed to Know God and Make Him Known — from our neighborhoods to the nations — you'll grow as a worshiper, a songwriter, and a servant-leader who leads not from the stage but from a life surrendered to Christ.
Your gift. His glory.
WHAT WE FOCUS ON
created for worship & identity
Before you are a worship leader, you are a child of God. That is the identity that changes everything. We don't want to produce better performers — we want to see sons and daughters step into the fullness of who God says they are, and lead from that place.
"See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are!" — 1 John 3:1
songwriting
God is the ultimate Creator, and we are made in His image. Writing worship songs is not just a creative exercise — it is an act of faith, an offering, and a partnership with the Holy Spirit to craft songs that carry truth and bring glory to Jesus.
"Enter his gates with thanksgiving, and his courts with praise! Give thanks to him; bless his name." — Psalm 100:4
working as a team
The body of Christ was never meant to function alone. Whether on or off the stage, every member of the team carries value, gifting, and calling. We grow together in humility, encouragement, and Christlike character — because the world will know we are His disciples by our love for one another.
"Make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind." — Philippians 2:2
