Worship Leader Boot Camp 2026 is open for registrations!

The Kentucky Baptist Convention Worship Leader Boot Camp is a 3-day training event, hosted on the beautiful campus of Clear Creek Baptist Bible College, designed to help equip those currently serving in bi-vocational, part-time or full-time worship ministry with biblical, practical and musical tools for ministry in the local church. During the three days of the camp worship leaders will be able to hear from God’s word, worship together and participate in various breakout sessions covering topics like worship planning, audio visual, rehearsal techniques and spiritual disciplines. Couples are welcome to attend. We would encourage couples to stay at the Pine Lodge as on-campus housing will be dorm rooms only. If you’re a worship leader, join us!
