Our History

Previously, our ministry was limited to local and short-term church engagements. However, after establishing the necessary infrastructure, we are now able to offer a global and online ministry and a comprehensive one-year academic program.
The educational faculty of the Ava Worship Academy includes counselors and professors with experience and expertise in the field of Christian music and theology in order to equip and train anointed and efficient worshipers.
Ava Worship Academy is a subsidiary of Epiphany Arts and Culture Foundation.
Ava Worship Academy provides services to churches and it is not a church itself.
Our efforts and focus are on providing interdenominational education so that we can serve the majority of Persian-speaking churches.

Our Believe

Why Worship Academy?

Despite the fact that the Persian-speaking churches are growing rapidly, we are clearly witnessing clear dispossession and that is the lack of worship leaders who are experienced and equipped in the churches. Another challenge we face in Persian-speaking churches is the deep gap between our culture and current worship music. Despite the efforts that have been made in this field, Often, our music is a copy of Western music, not Eastern.

Passing these challenges and aspiring for a brighter future, will not be possible except through academic education in music and worship.

Tuition Sponsorship

Ava Worship Academy is embarking on a journey toward a bright future and the construction of church infrastructure. Discovering new talents, and encouraging and cultivating them is our dream to create a deep and significant transformation in the church and even in our country, Iran.

In the hallowed halls of academics training method, where disciplines unfurl their unique tapestries of knowledge, the temporal expanse of each course, coupled with the myriad requisites of erudition—comprising tomes, scholastic apparatus, seminars, mentors, and pedagogical guides—necessitates the imposition of a tuition fee.

The annual cost of the advanced course for each student is $1,700, and for the beginner course, it is $200. Epiphany is a charitable organization that covers a significant portion of the tuition. Remember that this modest fee is an opportunity for you to contribute to continuing this ministry.
There are other annual expenses for the formation conference, course development, folklore and worship music production, translation, and writing of education resources, equipment, instruments, etc. which you are also welcome to participate in if feasible.
We have scholarships for those who can not afford but unfortunately, our scholarships are limited.

As our admission capacity is limited, we hope that more students will be given the opportunity to study with the support of the church and the sponsors. Therefore, we invite all those who care about the future of the Persian Church to join us and plant seeds in this extraordinary and historic ministry.
