An Unmissable Event for Corps Praise Teams!
Is your corps praise team ready to grow, sharpen their skills, and deepen their spiritual connection through worship? The AOK Contemporary Worship Workshop is designed specifically for you! Whether you're a seasoned team or just starting out, this weekend will take your praise ministry to the next level.
Each corps team will rehearse and grow together under the guidance of an experienced coach, focusing on:
Band balance and dynamics
Rehearsal and musical techniques
Vocal and instrumental development
Team cohesion and worship leadership
Your team will receive personalized coaching, making an immediate and lasting impact on your Sunday worship.
Alongside the music training, all delegates will participate in a powerful Bible study and worship series led by Dr. Steve Kellner. This spiritual component will refresh your approach to worship and inspire your team on a deeper level.
This workshop is a unique and invaluable opportunity to grow together musically and spiritually as a team. You won't want to miss it!
Frequently Asked Questions
What if we don’t have a full praise team?
No problem! Whether your team is large or consists of just one or two people, you’re encouraged to attend. Smaller groups will be paired with others to form full praise bands for the weekend.
Is there a beginner’s track?
Yes! We’re offering a beginner guitar class for those with little to no experience—perfect for new musicians.
Should corps officers attend?
Absolutely. Even if you’re not part of the band, your presence supports team unity and strengthens the retreat atmosphere. Officers are encouraged to attend with their teams.
Should my media team attend?
Yes! Audio/visual support is a vital part of modern worship. If you have media team members—sound techs, video operators, etc.—they should join us. We’re offering specialized A/V masterclasses just for them.
What is the cost?
We’ve structured the fees to encourage full-team participation. The total cost depends on the size of your delegation (not per person):
1–3 delegates: $175
4–7 delegates: $200
8+ delegates: $235
Is there an age requirement?
The workshop is open to ages 12 and up. Any delegates under 18 must have a designated adult chaperone, which can be someone from your corps delegation.
2020 Contemporary Worship Workshop Video Series
The 2020 CWW was held virtually, and we have made recordings of all sessions available to all! We invite you to learn from these worship sessions, bible studies, and masterclasses. Bible studies are led by Andy Barrington and Nick Simmons-Smith. transMission leads us in worship. We had excellent instructors for our masterclasses, including Randy Bonifield (The Art of Songwriting), Ronnie Murchison (Spiritual Community), and transMission (Praise Band Workshop).
