    (Deut 6:4, Isa 43:10-11, Matt 28:18-20, Luke 3:22)

  3. In the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, sinless life, miracles, substitutional death on the cross, bodily resurrection, ascension to the Father and His personal return in power and glory.

  9. We believe in holy Christian living, and we must have concern for the hurts and social needs of our fellow men.
    (Col 3:12-14, Rom 15:1-2)

  10. We believe we must dedicate ourselves anew to the service of our Lord and to His authority over our lives.
    (Col 2:9-11, Eph 6:7-8)

OUR STORY

Long before she had her first song cut, won any Dove Awards, or was nominated for a Grammy, Krissy Nordhoff (writer of “Your Great Name” & “Famous For (I Believe)”) was looking for a mentor. After looking for more than a decade, in 2008, she finally heard the Lord say to her “Be What You Need”.  And, that’s what started it all - she began inviting young female Christian songwriters into her home.  This group of women would meet monthly for the primary purpose of forming relationships and offering emotional and spiritual support to one another.

Fast forward to 2017 - Krissy began teaching the craft of songwriting to a group of 12 women.  That initial small group would eventually become the Worship Songwriter Mentorship - an online songwriting curriculum and a small group led by songwriters who were personally mentored by Krissy.  What makes The Mentorship (as we call it now) unique is the emphasis we put on ministering to the heart of the songwriter and the art of co-writing with other believers in a healthy and empowering way. Over 600 people have graduated from The Mentorship since.

In 2020, Krissy released the book which gives our community our name - Writing Worship.  We’ve added additional resources for the community - courses, coaching, co-writing camps online and in-person, a co-writing community (Writing Club) and an annual conference. 

Krissy and the team are passionate about helping other churches develop their own songwriting culture.  And, as a result, we’ve been invited to host songwriting workshops and camps throughout the US and the United Kingdom. 

In addition to the resources and events, we’re releasing music written and recorded by our community of worship songwriters crafting heartfelt songs for the Church!
