more than music - a life of worship
PART ONE: LECTURES
Our Worship elective gives you an opportunity to join with people who share your heart of worship, as well as learn and find fresh inspiration from one another.
This elective is open to all skill levels, but it isn’t required that you play an instrument already. In addition to completing the full, two-part DTS together with the other electives, you will have set aside time to develop your skills and learn how to lead a community in worship.
You’ll receive teaching from experienced musicians and practice songwriting. Each student in the worship elective will also get the chance to record a song they wrote during the school.

PART TWO: OUTREACH
We desire to always be ready and willing to serve and share the good news as we lead people into the presence of God.
For part two of your DTS you will partner with local and long-term missionaries in the field, meet the physical and spiritual needs of many, and take your place in completing The Great Commission.
Be prepared to apply all you’ve learned during the lecture phase when you head out for cross-cultural missions and encounter God in a fresh way in the nations.

“Suddenly I was looking at a map of the world, only the map was alive and moving! I could see all the continents, and waves were crashing onto their shores. Each wave went onto a continent, then receded, then came up further until it covered the continent completely. The waves become young people – kids my age and even younger – covering all the continents of the globe...

...They were talking to people on street corners and outside bars. They were going from house to house and preaching the Gospel. They came from everywhere and went everywhere, caring for people. Then just as suddenly as it had come the scene was gone.” - Loren Cunningham (YWAM founder)
What activities can i expect to do?
Our heart is to see Christ glorified through hearts that seek Him and pursue lives of worship both privately and publicly. Across the 12 weeks of lectures, students can expect to spend time up-skilling their musicianship, in song-writing workshops and setting aside time to work on these songs as well as share within the worship crew, and try their hand at working with our audio equipment. Students have the opportunity to write a personal song or contribute toward a group album, giving them a taste of the recording process.
what instruments are there and can i bring my own?
We have numerbous acoustic guitars, bass guitars, an acoustic drum-kit, a keyboard and cajon all available for you to use here. If you have another instrument that you’d like to play (or if you prefer your own instrument) feel free to bring it! Just be sure to investigate how your airline may handle your instrument and what the best methods for traveling with your belongings might be.
can i join if i don't play an instrument?
Absolutely! You don't have to be a musician to be a worshipper. We have plenty of attendees who simply love to worship and long to spend time in his presence alongside others with a similar heart. If you are a singer, tech-minded, or just want to be amongst this crew, you're welcome to it!
