SONGWRITER MENTORSHIP
The Mentorship is a small group curriculum and cohort for Kingdom-minded songwriters to grow their craft and flourish together.
Each student begins their journey with our foundational Worship Songwriter Mentorship, a songwriting intensive designed to help you grow your craft, become closer with Jesus, and write impactful songs for the Church. The course is taught by Dove Award-winning and Grammy-nominated songwriter, Krissy Nordhoff (Your Great Name, Famous For, Mercy Tree), a 9-week study and small-group community led by one of our mentors.
*Every graduate is then invited to online and in-person Writing Camps and invited to continue their journey in the Writing Club which meets all year round!
