Engaging Worshipers to Express God’s love!
We were created to worship, and every worship leader is first called to be a worshiper. The Worship Elective is designed to help you cultivate a lifestyle of worship while equipping you to lead others into the presence of God. As you grow in intimacy with Jesus, you'll discover that leading worship is about far more than music- it's about pointing hearts toward the King.
Throughout the school, you'll gain hands-on experience serving on worship teams, either leading worship, running sound, preparing chord charts, playing an instrument, all while developing the practical skills needed to serve with excellence. Whether you're on stage or behind the scenes, you'll learn how every role can serve to lead others to have an encounter with God.

What is worship Elective in the DTS?
YWAM San Diego/Baja’s Discipleship Training School is an accredited university-level course through the University of the Nations that is five months long. You and your fellow students will participate in a three-month Campus Phase, including life-impacting teaching, daily devotionals, and powerful worship ministry and prayer times with our YWAM community. Our campuses are located in the beautiful Baja region of Mexico, just south of San Diego and the U.S. border.
After the 3-month Campus Phase, you are sent out on a 2-month international outreach trip equipped with newfound effective and assertive communication. In the Outreach Phase, you will use your God-given passion for adventure to bring God’s unending love to new communities across the world. A new DTS starts every fall and winter on either our San Antonio Del Mar or Ensenada campus. Both DTS are offered in English and Spanish, with locations only a few minutes walk from the beach. We can’t wait to see you there!
