A message from One Hope Project.

We’re excited to share that applications for the 2026/27 OHP Academy are OPEN NOW, and we’d really appreciate your help in spreading the word within your diocesan networks.

We’re preparing to launch our 6th cohort this September, and would love your support in helping us reach worship leaders, musicians and songwriters who might be interested in applying.

What is The Academy?

The OHP Academy is a six-month online worship school for aspiring worship leaders, musicians and songwriters who want to invest in their leadership, grow in their practical gifting in order to serve in their context and go deeper in their journey of faith. One Hope Project has over a decade’s experience in leading worship, writing songs and equipping others and we want to share our learning with you! Most importantly we have spent a number of years following Jesus and want to encourage you on your journey of following Jesus too!

Why we started

Music helps people pray. We’ve seen that in our churches on a Sunday, often the people who have given their time and service to lead the music and the worship, haven't had the opportunity for formation and investment in this area.  Also we have seen that when music leaders give time and space for their journey of discipleship this has a prayerful and powerful effect on the times of worship and liturgy and the faith journeys of their music teams in their parishes. This is why we started The OHP Academy. 

The vision and structure of The Academy

The vision for The Academy is to raise up accomplished spirit filled worship leaders across the world. It has been designed to work alongside a job or study so participants can absolutely take part no matter their circumstance. We have written the course in a manner which takes the Academy student on a journey and works out to be around one - two hours a week of investment. 

A participant on the Academy receives: 

• 10 hours of formation content split into 19 different teaching topics which are watched in their own time.
• 12 x 2 hour Online Group sessions connecting them with other participants from all over the world. These give a chance for all students to go deeper into the formation through activations and prayer alongside having small group time to connect.
• 5 x hour sessions with a manager to help them grow practically.
• 5 x hour sessions with a mentor to help them grow spiritually.
