WORSHIP ACADEMY...Building People

ACADEMY 5 HAVE GRADUATED!


After two years of journeying together Academy 5 graduated from the course in spectacular style on Saturday 5th July at Kings Community Church in Bedworth.

Nobody could quite believe that July 2008 had come around so quickly and that all of a sudden all were presenting final group presentations on the subject of Momentum before their peers, friends and family!

We were blessed to have four fantastically creative and sensitively produced presentations along with some great inspirational teaching from Stuart Bell of the Groundlevel Network and New Life Lincoln, not to mention one last session from course founders, Chris Bowater and Andy Bromley.

Whilst we're celebrating with Academy 5 at their Graduation time, we also want you encourage others to get involved with Worship Academy. If you're looking at these pictures and they are giving you a taster for Academy please make contact with us and we will be glad to talk with you and provide more information. UK Academy 7 begins in September - we already have many registered and we'd love you to be involved too!

We've also had lots of Academy 5 students wanting to share their thoughts and appreciation, so please find some of these below - may they touch and inspire you to connect with Academy in the future!

Worship Academy has not only equipped me to feel affirmed in my gifting musically, spiritually and in leadership but being with the ‘family’ has bought a lot of real issues that I battle with, such as an anxiety disorder I’ve had for a number of years, to the foreground for genuine healing in a very safe environment.

Through God’s grace, Chris, Andy and all the other guest visitor’s wonderful input, along with the support of my new life long friends - this is more than just a retreat now and then – this is real Christian growth in His Glory.

I don’t just recommend worship academy, I suggest it essential you join the vision as soon as you are able.

Being part of Academy 5 has shown me so much of God's plan for my life and helped me to rest in His presence like I have never done before. We've had superb teaching and fellowship, fun and food, not to mention establishing some lifelong friendships too.

We have all learnt to step out of our comfort zones as Jesus holds our hand. It has been stunning watching the group changing under His anointing and prompting…such a privilege!

I'm not sure if even an infinite amount of scrolling through the pages on the website, reading the publicity or even talking to past and current students could ever give you a complete picture of the Academy culture. There are a host of surprises waiting for you...

Like anything that requires a 'stepping out' element, Academy without doubt provides a unique experience that forms that solid bridge over which God will meet with you in more ways than you could imagine. Why? Because Academy is an environment soaked in Holy Spirit anointing and fed with years of wisdom and experience from some of the worlds finest teachers.

Then there's the discipleship element. Chris and Andy's heart to feed and nurture strong characters prepared for ministry will stretch and challenge you in a safe environment of community where there is even confidential pastoral support provided at each of your weekends - purely for students to access, giving you the extra assurance that your journey will be the fullest experience possible.

Join. You won't be disappointed.
