You Have Never Been Closer to a Career in Music and Worship than Now

Your passion for music and desire to serve the Lord can lead to an exciting career worth pursuing. Whether you feel called to lead worship in a church or become the director of worship programming for a nonprofit Christian organization, we can help. Our B.S. in Music and Worship with a biblical studies focus can propel your ministry further.

Specializing in biblical studies is a great way to learn how to interpret, apply, and present biblical passages. Imagine standing in front of your congregation, piano music fading behind you.

Make that picture a reality by studying the Bible in a worship context with us.
