The School of Worship is located on the campus of Calvary of Albuquerque and is a nine-month program consisting of academic and practical training.
The Vision
Our vision is to provide a unique combination of academic excellence and practical ministry training. Give us one year of dedication to the task of seeking God through disciplined academics and structured ministry, and in return, you will develop into a mature vessel prepared for a lifetime of valuable service.
Upreach (Matthew 22:37-38)
Worship: Loving God is man's highest calling.
Inreach (Matthew 22:39)
Edification: Building up the body of Christ through the proper use of spiritual gifts.
Outreach (Mark 16:15, Acts 1:8)

The School of Worship is for those who have experience in their instrument(s) and feel called to the music ministry. Whether you feel called to be a lead worshipper or part of the support of the band, SOW is for you. We aim to equip each musician with both the practical and spiritual tools necessary to serve the Lord and His body with your gift.
