Worship Arts Conservatory: Foundations for Leadership


I want to give you a sample of the class that is about to start at our online school in a few days. If you have ever wondered about worship arts study, then I encourage you to check out our syllabus - we cover subjects such as Theology of Worship, Tabernacle of David, Current Trends in Worship, Worship and the Arts, Prayer, Worship and Meditation, Prophetic Worship...and so much more.

Here is a little sample from our first lesson commencing on 4th March. Subject: Foundations of Leadership:



"One of the greatest honors that God can give us is the call to lead His people. We must always remember that Christian leadership is a great privilege. The Lord has chosen regular people like you and I to be leaders of His people. So long as we are willing and humble He can do great things through the ordinary.


So many leadership models teach us to use leadership positions to get rather than to give. Jesus is the greatest leader who ever lived. His example of leadership was to give of Himself like no one has ever done before Him, or since He lived. Jesus showed us that leadership begins with obedience (He completely obeyed His Father), and ends with pouring Himself out (He gave His life for us.) My prayer for us all as we study this subject is that we would become more like Him as a leader and encourager of the Church.

Leadership Love—from 1 Cor. 13 (by Ken Collier Biblical leadership):
The patient, non-defensive leader—suffers long
The looking-to-be-used-in-someone’s-life leader—is kind
The non-jealous leader—does not envy
The small, unapplauded leader—does not parade itself, is not puffed up
The courteous, non-offensive leader—does not behave rudely
The unselfish, giving leader—does not seek its own
The non-explosive leader—is not easily provoked
The forgiving leader— thinks no evil
The pure leader—does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth
The covering leader—bears all things
The believes-the-best-about-others leader—believes all things
The never-give-up leader— hopes all things
The never-quit leader— endures all things'


We are also going through some of the problems leaders face, leadership styles, qualities and characteristics that are needed in Godly leaders, how to grow as a leader,  how to identify great leaders, servant leadership, what areas of leadership you might be called to...and...that is just in lesson one (there are three lessons in each month.)
