In general, we have lectures every morning and afternoons are for homework, practice,
prayer room sets, music lessons, etc.
The School of Worship exists to train and equip worshipers and worship leaders. We
have a three-fold approach that encompasses various areas of topics.
These three are:
The Heart: (Character)
a) knowing God/His nature and character/passion/intimacy/devotional life (GOD)
b) identity/reality/freedom/character/lifestyle of the worshipper (Us)
c) work of the Holy Spirit/gifts of the Spirit in worship
The Head: (Knowledge)
d) biblical/historical basis for worship
e) intercession/spiritual warfare/prophetic aspects of worship ministry
f) teamwork/leadership development in a worship context.
The Hands: (Skills)
g) songwriting/musicianship/creativity
h) heart for the nations — redeeming cultures

You have opportunities to lead worship every week with a small band of SOW students
to lead worship for about 45 minutes in a different school on Campus. There are
opportunities that you can lead worship in the prayer room (we call it a DEVO set) with
other Students. There are always spontaneous opportunities to lead a worship set on
Campus, Local Churches which we wanna work with this year again, Burn session -
Intercession for a specific topic or Nation.
So there are plenty of opportunities to lead worship and grow. We also have Music/Band class every week as a lecture where we go through many different practical things
like music theory, how to lead, some tips and tricks, how to communicate with the Band,
etc.

Students will write at least 4 songs during the lecture phase and one of the songs we will
record at the end of the school. We have Outreach possibilities and we are in a time of
multiple SOWs in Kona.

The costs for the lecture phase (including food, lodging, tuition, etc.) are $4,395.
The Developing Nation Tuition Discount is established to help students from developing
nations receive training at the University of the Nations Kona (U of N Kona). Students from a B country discount is $750.00 or C country discount is $1500.00 from the UN category list (http://uofn.edu/nation-category-list) are eligible to apply. The student submits this request along with a copy of their passport to financialassistance@uofnkona.edu. To be considered, this request needs to be submitted via email at least 2 weeks before course arrival day.
If you were to go on an outreach (which isn’t mandatory), I’d plan for about $5,000 which most likely would end up being less than that.
I hope that helps you with your decision and look forward to seeing you here in Kona!
