The Worship Ministry degree is focused on preparing leaders theologically, pastorally,
and artistically for the local church in the area of worship. We believe that the local
church is a vital part of the Kingdom of God and deserves the best of our resources and
leadership. We want to give students the tools to know what the Bible says about
worship, know how the church has dealt with worship change in the past, know what the
church of today needs in worship, and know how to express all of these things in
culturally dynamic ways. For further information contact the program director,
Jeff Colleen.
