Core Classes
All students participate in these core classes:
Practical Involvement
Our program is fully integrated in the life of the local church. Each student will be integrated into the community of the church through homegroups, discipleship, serving the local church and community, worship teams, outreach events, and more.
Homegroups
Each student will be placed in a Living Light homegroup, which provides a more intimate means of receiving care and input beyond the School of Worship and Sunday church meetings. You will be asked to share with the group the things you are learning and revelation you are receiving to provoke others in their understanding and practice of worshiping God.
Discipleship
Each student will be mentored by a leader in Living Light Christian Church who will regularly meet with them. Their role will be to encourage the student in all areas of life, including the practical outworking of what they are learning from the program.
Serving the Church
Students will be asked to serve in the context of our regular church meetings. Possible areas include assisting in sound engineering, welcoming, running projection, children’s church, and youth work.
Serving the Community
Students are involved in a number of community initiatives into underprivileged schools, outreach centers, and nursing homes bringing practical help and the wonderful news of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Church Worship Teams
Students who show a high level of spiritual and musical maturity may be asked to join a worship team that serves the church body. Such involvement will include regular practices for church meetings.
Outreaches
Students will serve in outreaches when they occur throughout the year. Students will be an integral part of these special events.
Music Track
