Movement in Worship is a relational network. One of the ways we outwork this is by establishing bases.

There are currently nine ‘Movement in Worship’ Bases. Each base has a Core Team which includes local / regional Church oversight providing covering, anointed movers, teachers and practical support personnel. They outwork differently depending on the needs of their regions.

Regular courses, from the range of different courses on offer, are run at these bases. The bases aim to train up local people to promote MIW in their region. Teams from each base also travel throughout their regions teaching workshops and dancing at events:

Events

Brighton – England

City Gate Church

Movement in Worship began in Brighton, supported practically and financially by City Gate Church.

There is still a strong focus on worship and creativity there. Regular MIW workshops are hosted there. In recent years the team there have been involved in developing and regularly hosting two initiatives to outwork the “worship – breathing in”, “mission – breathing out” rhythm. The first being ‘…Stepping Beyond’ a creative worship event which happens every couple of months. The second ‘Oasis Life.Rhythm.Spirit’ an outdoor missional event which takes our worship into the community.

The Brighton Base Team is led by Andy Au, Kirsty Jamurath and Adele Templeton.
