“Engage combine passion for God, theological depth, musical excellence and creative worship. Having such high-quality training in our own church, with time to really explore our questions, has led to lasting change and growth."
Wayne Alexander, Pastor - Pembury Baptist Church
Looking for training, input and inspiration in creative, innovative worship for your youth band, worship group, leadership team or church network? We've got a growing bunch of trainers who would love to share their gifts, experience and passion with you.
A training day usually costs £175 plus travel (per person - Sam and Sara charge £300 for the two), but if this is an issue you can discuss this with the trainer. You may wish to consider opening your day up to other churches or youth groups local to you, to share the experience and cost. Most of our trainers are also up for traveling locally to do evening sessions at £50 per night. They may also be able to lead worship at events or services (see below), perhaps extending a day into the evening or running a whole weekend.
