"Catch on fire, and people will come for miles to watch you burn", John Wesley said. God has called us to be white-hot worshippers, ignited by the glory and beauty of our God. Our heart for the New Life School of Worship is to provide a place for people to draw near to God, pursue a deeper worship life, and develop ministry leadership skills. We believe that the local church is the place where ministry is caught as well as taught. Seminars are good; conferences are helpful; but only a local church with a global perspective can reproduce worship leaders who have a fiery passion for God and an uncompromising love for people. This year could be one of the greatest adventures of your life, challenging you and changing you into the burning worshipper God has made you to be."
