2020-2021 Catalog

 

Worship Arts - B.S.

Purpose

The Worship Arts major consists of a program of 47 credit hours. The core set of courses (31 credit hours) is taken in the School of Theology and Ministry; the remaining courses (16 credit hours) are taken within the division related to the student's area of emphasis. This program is designed to prepare a student to serve in a local church or other para-church ministry in worship leadership; it is also an excellent second major to enhance a student's training for other ministries. Students who plan to enroll in the MPTh Christian Ministries must take the Worship Ministries + Pastoral Ministries double majors.

General Education Requirements

Students in the Worship Arts major meet the general education requirements by taking WOR-238. The Worship Arts major fulfills general education by taking PSY-150 or 250, REL-365, REL-366 and REL-366P.
