WHY APPLY TO THE OHP ACADEMY?
The OHP Academy is a six-month online worship school for aspiring worship leaders, musicians and songwriters who want to grow in their relationship with Jesus and their practical gifting in order to serve in their context. One Hope Project has over a decade’s experience in leading worship, writing songs, equipping others and a much longer journey of following Jesus and we want to invest in you!
FORMATION SESSIONS
At the heart of the OHP Academy are the teaching sessions providing deeper formation on a range of topics in relation to worshipping God. These are delivered by numerous speakers from both within and outside One Hope Project, all of whom serve the Catholic Church and love and follow Jesus. We believe the curriculum will provide you with great knowledge and grow a desire within you to encounter Jesus for yourself, as well as to lead others into His presence. This content is provided to you week by week to watch in your own time before your online group session.

ONLINE GROUP SESSIONS
In The OHP Academy you'll be assigned an online group session and you’ll meet with them every two weeks after watching the formation content. This time together will be a chance to review the material from the video and discuss in smaller groups. There will also be the opportunity for Q+A, time to activate the content you’ve received and periods of prayer and worship. These sessions really build the community spirit of The Academy as you meet with other like minded people. There will be options based on timezone so make sure you put your preference down when applying.
MENTOR
You will be assigned a mentor who you will meet with a number of times over the course of The OHP Academy. This person will be available to you to talk about your spiritual life, help you grow in prayer and try to relate everything you’re learning in The Academy to your relationship with Jesus. Many participants have found this a real blessing and we hope it will bless you too.
MANAGER
You will have time with your manager, someone who will help you grow practically in a worship skill. This could be anything from learning about leadership to honing your guitar playing. It doesn’t matter whether you’re brand new or want to go deeper, your manager will work with you no matter your starting point.
COURSE DATES
The OHP Academy will run from 26th September 2024 to the 20th March 2025 with a Christmas break. The Academy has been designed to work alongside a job or study so can absolutely take part no matter your circumstance.

If your parish is being accompanied by Divine Renovation, make sure to highlight this on the relevant part of the application form.
TESTIMONIES
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Are there bursary places available?
Yes, we don’t want money to restrict you from applying. Within the application form you can state whether you are applying for a bursary place and we will be in touch with you about this.
Do I have to be over 18?
Yes, The OHP Academy is for anyone over the age of 18. Our aim is for the course to run over the coming years so be sure to apply when you hit that age.
What if I can’t make all the online group sessions?
We understand that life and commitments can be busy and therefore understand if you cannot make all of the online group sessions. However we like the saying “the more you put in the more you get out!” Therefore our policy is that in order to graduate from The Academy students have no more than:
-
Two 'absent' sessions (when you don't turn up without communicating in advance.)
-
Four missed sessions (either ‘absent' or ‘excused' in which you tell us before the session that you won’t be there). Effectively, no more than four online group sessions missed but you must communicate at least two to us beforehand.
If you’re not able to make a session please let us know ahead of time by emailing your group session host.
Do I have to be a Catholic to be a participant on The OHP Academy?
No you don’t! Whilst The Academy is rooted in Catholic teaching it will provide Christians from all backgrounds with practical training and Biblical formation that we hope will enrich all worship journeys. One of OHP’s biggest passions is working with people from all different traditions so you’re very welcome!
Can I choose my mentor and manager?
No, but don’t worry - One Hope Project will assign you to a mentor and a manager that we believe would be best suited to you following your application.
Is The OHP Academy available in different languages other than English?
Not at the moment but we’re hoping in the future to increase the language options. Watch this space!
