Overview

The Levi Worship Academy is designed for anyone seeking to grow in worship — not just experienced musicians or those already on team. One of the primary focuses of the Academy is to develop musical and vocal competence, while also grounding participants in biblical foundations, spiritual formation, and a heart to serve God with excellence in worship spaces.

How the Academy Works

Our courses are modular and pathway-based, enabling participants to progress through clearly defined levels at their own pace. Training combines biblical foundations of worship, practical, creative and musical skills, and intentional personal formation, ensuring learning is both meaningful and applicable. All sessions are delivered in person, fostering community, collaboration, and hands-on growth.

Sessions are led by skilled tutors with many years of experience across worship ministry, the creative arts, and the wider music and production industries. Our tutors bring a rich cultural diversity and a wide range of specialist expertise, offering students depth, perspective, and excellence in every area of learning.

While many modules directly support worship and production ministry within CLM, the Academy also warmly welcomes individuals who are not seeking to serve on a team but are passionate about growing creatively and spiritually.

The Levi Worship Academy exists to nurture confident, capable, and humble Creatives — people who pursue excellence, value growth, and cultivate a deep love for the presence of God.

We have crafted Training Modules for Keyboards, Singers, Guitar, Bass, Drums & Worship Leaders. We are also planning to include pathways for Sound Engineers and Media Operators in due course.

Please see below for the Training Module dates for 2026. Sign-up for a number of these is now open via the links below.

Bursary & Concessions

Bursary Support

At Levi Worship Academy, we do not want finances to become a barrier for those who are seeking to grow and develop through one of our LWA modules.

For this reason, bursary support of up to 100% concession may be available for applicants who are experiencing financial difficulties. Our desire is to support and invest in individuals who are committed to growing musically, spiritually, and in their service within the life of the church.

As part of the bursary application process, applicants will be asked to provide some information regarding the reasons for their application and will need to meet certain eligibility requirements before approval can be considered.

To be eligible for bursary support, applicants must:
