A Sacred Space to Grow Deeper
Worship is more than a song, a moment, or a role we step into. It is a life formed in the presence of God.
Heart Worship Village is an eight-month cohort created for worship leaders, musicians, artists, songwriters, and Christian creatives who desire to grow in intimacy with God, become more grounded in their identity, and develop a Kingdom-centered life of worship.
This is more than a course. It is a sacred space where relationships are formed, honest conversations are welcomed, and creatives grow together through biblical teaching, personal reflection, practical application, and shared experiences.
Throughout this journey, you will explore meaningful themes and spiritual practices while building lasting relationships within a Christ-centered community. Whether this is your first cohort or you are returning, Heart Worship Village will meet you where you are and invite you to go deeper.

Our Cohort Stories
Course Break Down

Explore the biblical perspective of worship and examine where we stand today in our understanding and practice of worship.
Reflect on your current view of God and your identity. Begin unraveling the difference between what we DO and who we ARE.
Dive into the concept of integrity, focusing on the difference between living a life of worship and merely leading worship.
Understand the priestly and pastoral role of creative ministry, and how it shapes your identity and calling.
Private Intimacy/ Corporate Intimacy: where do they differ, how do they work together. Learn how private intimacy with God informs public worship. Explore the dynamics of leading worship with confidence and sensitivity to the Holy Spirit.
Dive into the process of presenting and implementing change within ministry. Investigate, interrogate, experiment, and implement new ideas to foster growth and alignment with God's direction. Discover the importance of song selection and songwriting in aligning with what God is speaking to your community.
We will explore what it truly means to worship in spirit and truth, moving beyond music into a lifestyle of surrender and devotion to God.
At Heart Worship Collective, our team is made up of passionate worship leaders, creatives, and mentors with a heart for guiding others into deeper intimacy with God. We are a diverse group, united by a shared calling to serve and support worship creatives on their spiritual and creative journeys. You can learn more about our team here.
It’s not about us—it’s about how you show up.
But at the heart of Heart Worship Village, it’s not about us—it’s about how you show up. While we are here to serve and guide you, the real transformation comes from your willingness to be open, transparent, and ready for God to work in you. This cohort is an opportunity to seek God with an earnest heart and let Him reveal how to live a life of worship that goes beyond music and into every part of who you are.
The Heart Over Status
At HWC, we aren’t focused on status or accolades—it’s all about the heart. David was known as a man after God’s own heart long before he was king, faithfully serving in the pasture. That’s the call for each of us: to serve the Lord humbly, with a heart ready to be shaped and molded. We believe that true worship leadership begins here, where status fades, and the heart for God leads.
