Who directs the learning at WorshipTraining?

About The Instructor

Dan Wilt, M.Min. is the founder and lead instructor at WorshipTraining. After 20+ years as a worship leader, recording

artist (Vineyard Music, All You Are), author (Perspectives On Worship: Five Views with Dan Kimball and others), media

developer (DVD Host of What Is Worship?), and international conference keynote speaker, Dan received his Master Of

Ministry Degree (M.Min.) in Classic Christian Spirituality and Formation.

After developing a Worship Studies One Year Diploma Program and a Master of Ministry Degree program with St. Ste-phen University in New Brunswick, Canada, Dan created The Essentials Courses – 100% online, university-level studies

in worship. To reach into the heart of the local church's resourcing needs around the globe, Dan then created WorshipTraining.com - an online education site for local worship leaders and teams that runs 365 days a year.

Dan draws on his extensive experience serving as the Worship Resource Developer for Vineyard Music Global, Worship Development Coordi-

nator for the Association Of Vineyard Churches Canada, writer for Vertical Music, Creative Editor of Inside Worship Magazine, and as a confer-

ence speaker/worship leader at worship leader conferences and other interdenominational events for over 20 years. His ancient-future, post-

modern aware, character-based approach is unique in today's worship leader development world.

Dan has also served for over two decades as a local church worship pastor, senior pastor and training pastor, and has recorded eight CDs as a

songwriter with Vineyard Music and others. The creation of The Institute in partnership with St. Stephen's University was a finalist for the

Bridgeway Foundation Innovation Awards, recognizing powerful educational programs equipping creative leaders in a postmodern world.

To date, Dan has trained literally thousands of worship leaders, musicians, and worshipers in live and online events internationally throughout

the past decades. With a Learning Community of over 7000 worldwide (and growing), and hundreds of churches from 50 + countries involved

at WorshipTraining.com, Dan and his team are developing worship leaders to effectively serve in their local church and community with creative

vision and a 21st century skill set.

“Imagine a place where you are invited to ask big questions relating to how you think about God and wor-ship. Imagine being part of a diverse, creative learning community who were all on a similar pursuit.
