Bachelor of Music (B.M.) in Worship Leadership
Help Your Congregation Draw Closer to God by Earning a Bachelor’s Degree in Music – Worship Leadership
The act of worshipping God through music is important for a spiritually healthy church and music ministry. The methods of how worship is conducted change with each decade, but the purpose and intent of worship does not. Leading God’s people in worship is a tremendous responsibility, but you don’t have to navigate this calling alone.
In our Bachelor of Music in Worship Leadership degree program, you will learn how to identify and minister to your congregation’s spiritual needs while furthering your skills as a musician. Partner with us, and let us help you become a Champion for Christ as you seek to serve God with your musical gifts.
