Who We're Looking For
A baptized Christian with a desire to grow in faith and musical ministry.
A basic foundation in music — you don't need to be advanced.
Someone who feels a pull toward music ministry but doesn't have a structured place to grow.
Curious about the biblical and theological foundations of worship — not just the music.
Studying music, ministry, or a related field and looking for real formation hours and mentorship.
You do not need to be Anglican or a member of St. Patrick's Church. The Iona School is open to all traditions and backgrounds.
