Equipping musicians and non-musicians alike, Dave & Pat's worship training days are proving an increasingly popular resource for the development of worship teams and worshippers.
Both in the UK and in many nations of the world their mix of foundational teaching on worship and the practical "how to" when it comes to the musical mechanics have inspired many to "raise the bar" in their creative expressions of praise.
Dave will teach on themes related to his recent series of books on worship.
