Our Community

"Next Level Worship has a giant and precious vision of training worship leaders in spirit, truth, and excellence! My personal times of worship AND the times I get to invite others to the throne room have been reenergized by the teaching and work of this organization. Now being part of their mission around the world is one of my greatest joys." Kaitlyn Maddox, Children's Worship Arts Coordinator, Olive Baptist Church, Pensacola, FL

"I was drawn to Next Level Worship International because of the work that they do through missions, the Worship Intensive School, ReFOCUS, and especially the Worship Leader Coaching. All that they do is aligned greatly to my calling to teach, build worship teams/ministries, having influence and impact but most importantly leaving a legacy for generations to come; to set a benchmark, a standard of excellence of what a servant leader with a heart of worship looks like and have them build on it, for His glory." Joseph Roach, worship artist and worship leader, Jamaica

"An integral source of encouragement and resourcing on that path has been my connection with Dwayne Moore and Next Level Worship. In 2010, on a nudge from the Holy Spirit, I clicked on a link to participate in the Online Worship Leadership Training Course. The skilled, wise, prayerful and personalized coaching Dwayne provides, and other NLW events & opportunities in which I have participated, have equipped me to develop a stronger, healthier and more impactful ministry… not perfect, but definitely more anchored in a Jesus-centered approach. As retirement nears, my heart’s desire is to set up my successor for success in whatever ways I am able, and the tools NLW provides is playing a huge role in accomplishing that goal. NLW is among the most meaningful and significant influences in my story. Jesus be praised!" Michelle Jenkins, Director of Worship & Music , Getwell Church, Southaven MS

"I got connected with NLWI as an online worship coaching student. When I was searching resources to learn more about worship that time, I came to know about NLW from their website. NLW helps me to meet with global worship community and share each other experience to grow more for HIM. Through NLW resources, I’m learning a lot about worship. I am very glad to be associated with NLW. We have a great unity of philosophy and vision." Aporna Sarkar, worship instructor, Dhaka, Bangladesh

"I first connected with Dwayne around 10 years ago when I found his Worship Team Devotionals to use with our team during mid-week rehearsals. They really spoke to our team, so I next took them through Pure Praise. This study was foundational for our worship ministry and has been a book I have now done with 3 of the worship ministries God has blessed me to lead. Dwayne and NWLI's approach to whole-life worship has been a bedrock principle for the ministries I have been blessed to lead, and each time I have had Dwayne in to speak to our team, they have been encouraged and equipped to walk out a life of daily worship." Brian Bailey, Worship Pastor at The Church at Quail Creek, Amarillo, TX

"It has been my privilege to partner with NLWI in helping our people have a great understanding of Biblical Whole Life Worship. Our church has used Pure Praise as a small group, our teams have participated in hosting 2 Renew Worship Conferences and a Reimagine Intensive. Our worship leaders have been involved in teaching and leading worship at the annual Refocus Conference, and we have also participated 4 times in intensive schools across Africa and India. We believe in the Mission of NLWI and we are better off for it!" Josh Anders, Worship and Creative Arts Pastor, The Pointe Church, Fort Wayne, IN

"I have had the joy of getting to know Dwayne Moore and NLW through my studies in seminary at Liberty. I then had the opportunity to get to know him personally through my time as music director at The Pointe in Fort Wayne, IN. My NLW journey continued as I walked through their coaching phases and continues as I serve here in Maryland where Pure Praise has become an integral part of those that serve in our worship ministry." Jon McCord, Faith Baptist Church, Knoxville, MD

"Before Next Level Worship International, my understanding of worship as very limited. Now, I have completed my master’s in worship leadership, participated in coaching sessions with Dwayne Moore, attended numerous events with NLWI and served as a team member at the NLWI Ethiopian Intensive School. I attribute a lot of my journey to becoming an effective worship leader to Dwayne Moore, as he helped me to relate to my congregation, connect with my worship ministry, and serve with a servant's heart." Chris Mellon, Worship Pastor at Grace Baptist Church, Lancaster, PA
