Heart of Worship
The 2024 Church Music Workshop will bring together youth and adults from around the South East for a week filled with inspiration, deep connections, creativity and learning. As we explore HOW and WHY we worship, all who attend will be immersed in music and arts through classes, rehearsals, and daily worship in a safe place to gather, to share, and to connect.
The Workshop is a multi-generational event hosted by the Florida Chapter of the Fellowship of Worship Artists at the beautiful Warren Willis Conference Center in Fruitland Park, FL. This annual event is designed for singers, guitarists, drummers, dancers, bell ringers, worship leaders, music directors, organists, and pastors who seek growth and renewal. The event - and the Fellowship - welcomes church staff and church volunteers from all denominations.
The 2024 Church Music Workshop offers its participants the opportunity to work with and learn from renowned leaders in the worship arts, connect with others who have similar passions, and be refreshed and renewed in a sacred space. It is a safe place for youth and adults to share their talents, develop their skills, and discover new gifts in all areas of the worship arts.
