Held in the auditorium every Wednesday morning from 7:20-7:50AM, just show up ready with a heart for worship (no need to sign up in advance).

This class will cover the basics of what it means to be a true worshipper of God with a lens for applying that knowledge toward leading worship.  It will include reading and discussions on systematic theology, servant leadership, and biblical understanding of who God is and why He's worthy of worship.  

Students participating in the elective class do not need to be on the worship team but all who want to learn more about worshipping our God are invited to attend.  It is specifically designed for 7th and 8th graders.  However, 6th graders who would like to attend just need to contact Mr. McCall.  If you have any questions, please contact Mr. McCall at [email protected]
