Music helps people pray. We’ve seen that in our churches on a Sunday, often the people who have given their time and service to lead the music and the worship, haven’t had the opportunity for formation and investment in this area. Also, we have seen that when music leaders give time and space for their journey of discipleship this has a prayerful and powerful effect on the times of worship and liturgy and the faith journeys of their music teams in their parishes. This is why we started The OHP Academy.
Here is a short video about the OHP Academy from Joe and Pip. Flyers are available to download and share.
Do you want to see young people invested in to lead the music and worship at your church giving them the opportunity to share their gifts with your parish and feel a sense of belonging as members of your parish?
We would love for you to consider if this is something God is calling your parish or diocese to.
CLOSING DATE FOR APPLICATIONS: 14th SEPTEMBER 2025
The vision and structure of The Academy
The vision for The Academy is to raise up accomplished spirit filled worship leaders across the world. It has been designed to work alongside a job or study so participants can absolutely take part no matter their circumstance. We have written the course in a manner which takes the Academy student on a journey and works out to be around one – two hours a week of investment.
A participant on the Academy receives:
- 10 hours of formation content split into 19 different teaching topics which are watched in their own time.
- 12 x 2-hour Online Group sessions connecting them with other participants from all over the world. These give a chance for all students to go deeper into the formation through activations and prayer alongside having small group time to connect.
- 5 x hour sessions with a manager to help them grow practically.
- 5 x hour sessions with a mentor to help them grow spiritually.
Costs
A standard place on The Academy is £895 per person.
We would love to see more people empowered to lead worship in your diocese. A group discount and contribution towards funding may be available from your diocese, so please email: adminfaith.mission@diocesehn.org.uk for information.
