Description
The Institute for Modern Worship offers a year-long enriching collaborative online learning course and cohort designed for worship ministry leaders. Participants meet weekly via Zoom for two-hour sessions. Each session includes focused teaching from industry leaders, followed by collaborative discussions among cohort members. Each quarter of the IMW Year-Long Course + Cohort focuses on one of four foundations in worship ministry: Wesleyan Theology, Worship Administration, Leadership, and Worship Artistry. Students take a deep dive into each topic, with applications to their current career field, and tools to grow into their next level of development. Leaders who complete the first year of the Course + Cohort are equipped and have the necessary skills to lead worship in medium to large-sized church worship services.
