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

There are currently six ‘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 Hallett, Tina Johnson and Adele Peck.

Watford – England

Watford Community Church

In recent years many key Movement in Worship people have been clustering together in the Watford area. This base is emerging in response to all God is doing here.

The Watford Base Team is led by Rachel Whitby and Jo Littledyke, supported by a super team and spiritually overseen by Helen & Tim Roberts from Watford Community Church.

Edinburgh – Scotland

Wellsprings

The Edinburgh Base Team head up Movement in Worship across Scotland. They are involved in facilitating creativity and dance at the annual Clan conferences. Scotland has provided the location for many of the Worship & Mission Dance and Percussion Summer Schools. In recent years the team there have been involved in developing and regularly hosting two initiatives to outwork the breathing in (worship), breathing out (mission) rhythm. The first being ‘The Next Wave’ a creative non-stop 48 hours of worship which happens several times a year. The second ‘Spirit Rhythms’ a missional event which takes worship and connects with people in venues like Starbucks.

The Edinburgh Base Team is led by David & Maggie Hewitt who run the Wellsprings community, a house of prayer and worship. See their website for more info on events.

The India Base began in 2004 when a team from the UK went to teach on the YWAM School of Worship. Since then teams have gone each year to teach on Movement in Worship. The YWAM students have used movement for worship, intercession and mission all over India and in Nepal and Sri Lanka. Many former students are now church leaders and worship leaders still finding that what they learnt through Movement in Worship is effective and useful.
