Our Mission

 

Training the Next Generation of Liturgical Leaders

The word Venite is a solemn, joyful invitation: “O come, let us sing to the Lord” (Psalm 95:1). This ancient call is the foundation of Christian worship, summoning the faithful to acknowledge the majesty of God.

Venite is a non-profit dedicated to ensuring this call is answered by the next generation. We provide educational services and materials to train youth in liturgy and hymnody, becoming skilled, theologically grounded church musicians. We equip them not just to play, but to support the congregation in expressing the deep joy of our faith—to “come into his presence with thanksgiving” and “make a joyful noise to him with songs of praise!” (Psalm 95:2)

Our Educational Focus: Liturgy and Hymnody

Church musicians should understand that every note and every service is an act of prepared devotion. Moving beyond technical skill, they will focus on the historical and biblical context that continues the thread of worship throughout all time.

Through immersive study of the liturgy, students learn the structure and meaning of our services. A focus on hymnody grounds them in centuries of theological truth set to music, ensuring they steward this priceless heritage faithfully.

 

We Call & Support

 Removing Financial Barriers. Under the counsel of their family and congregation, talented youth who have the desire to lead worship, will apply for support. Your contributions provide essential scholarships and financial aid to students who would not be able to pursue this vocation.

 

We Train & Form

Our core mission is formation, not just instruction. Students should be mentored by experienced church musicians, learning the skills needed to lead worship faithfully—to “come before his presence with thanksgiving” (Psalm 95:2).

We Resource & Equip

We curate essential educational resources. These materials provide the tools necessary for students to deeply understand the context of worship.

We Connect & Launch

We create pathways for our trained leaders to enter sacred service immediately. This includes continuing education programs for our mentors and instructors, as well as placement assistance in congregations seeking skilled liturgical musicians.
