Boot Camps are 1 ½ day seminars focusing on a single subject that effects worship leaders and members of worship teams, such as; song writing, team building, leading prophetic worship, and many more. They are meant to be not only a time of training, but also of fellowship and edifying each other in the endeavors of worship. Boot Camps are free to Worship Leaders Network Members and offered at a small fee to non-members.

Boot Camps are a Friday evening all day Saturday event. Friday evening will consist of worship and a teaching by Dean Mitchum. Saturday, 10am-5pm, Dean Mitchum and other instructors will teach workshops related to the Boot Camp focus. Dean can also be available to minister at the local church on Sunday morning if so desired.

Boot Camp Testimonies:

Daytona Beach, Florida

"Clear guidelines were presented. Using the 7 elements of song writing helps me to simplify my ideas/thoughts and successfully begin writing God’s message of the hour!"

"This Boot Camp was informative and hands on. I’m excited and can’t wait to apply what I’ve learned."

"After coming to the Boot Camp much of the intimidation and fear of failure that has plagued me was removed. Dean showed me that the best songs come from humble beginnings, ideas and hearts."

"This Boot Camp showed me the importance of balance in songs to help the congregation sing and move into the thrown room."

"Song writing does not come easy to most people. The reason, I believe, is that most of us have no structure or principles. Dean showed us a successful formula for writing good congregational songs and evaluating them. In short, he unlocked the secrets of the pros."

"I have written songs for a long time but the information imparted, especially the song scoring system, was very beneficial to me."
