Testimonial
“I never thought that I could lead worship with a full band and use my second language to do it or that I would write sixty worship songs after I took songwriting classes. My instructors in guitar, piano, music theory, Ableton, drums, and voice are the best in the world because of their sincere hearts and their excellence in teaching. My life has been transformed by the theology/bible courses; it’s beyond expression. I love FSW!”
