A one-month intensive music ministry training program designed to equip singers, worship leaders, choir members, musicians and aspiring music ministers with spiritual insight, vocal excellence, worship understanding and practical music ministry skills. It runs every Saturday in August 2026 at the Mississauga Valley Community Centre, culminating in the Victory Generation Music Concert on Sunday, September 6, 2026.

The program focuses on three major areas: Worship Ministry, Professional Music Training, and Spiritual Formation. Participants receive both technical and spiritual training designed to help them grow as effective music ministers and worship leaders. Training covers vocal excellence, worship ministry, spiritual development, stage performance, songwriting, music production, choir administration, and ministry ethics and professionalism.

Participants benefit from professional vocal training, spiritual growth, worship ministry insight, practical music ministry experience, networking opportunities, exposure to experienced music ministers, and stage confidence and performance skills. The program is designed to develop both musical excellence and spiritual maturity.

It is a one-month intensive training program taking place throughout August 2026.

Classes hold every Saturday in August 2026, from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM, at the Mississauga Valley Community Centre. Each Saturday may include teaching sessions, voice training, practical rehearsals, worship ministry discussions, Q&A sessions and group practice. A one-hour break follows the first two sessions, with shorter breaks between practical sessions.

Saturdays were selected because most participants work Monday to Friday, many church choirs rehearse on Friday evenings, and Sundays are reserved for church worship services and ministry activities. This schedule maximises participation and convenience.

Yes and no. A professional media team may cover the event, take photographs, and produce one-minute highlight snippets, recap videos and promotional materials.

Photography may be permitted at designated times.

Only limited promotional content will be shared online — one-minute video snippets, highlight reels, presentation slides and professional photographs. Full training sessions and complete recordings will not be uploaded online, to maintain the value and exclusivity of the live training experience.
