Vision

The School of Worship trains worship leaders, musicians, singers and producers who are fueled with an uncompromising passion for Jesus as the first priority in their lives, and who are not motivated by popularity or financial reward. We desire to raise up a generation who prioritize a lifestyle centered on God’s presence in worship and intercession as the basis for reaching the lost. We aim to train and release these gifted worshipers to be firstly, lovers of Jesus, then grounded in the Word of God, and skilled in the craft of music, songwriting, music production and worship leading.

Chris McCall

Chris, first and foremost, desires to live his life in this way: To “Love the Lord his God with all his heart and with all his soul and with all his mind…and to love his neighbor as himself.” He is passionate about music and God’s glory. Chris has been married to Lizzi for 9 years and they have four beautiful children; Malakai, Laila, Rhema, and Moses. They have traveled all over the world in Pastoral and Missional ministry engaging cross-culturally and inter-denominationally. Chris loves to create a place where people can encounter God in worship and also use his songwriting to preach the Gospel. As theology, worship, intercession, and creativity intermingle more and more Chris believes that we will see a powerful strengthening of missions through music. Music truly is a key into every nation that we can use in partnership with God to bring heaven to earth.
