BS in Music and Worship – Worship Technology (Audio)

In a worship ministry, many seen and unseen positions work simultaneously to create a seamless and distraction-free experience for a congregation or concert/conference attendees. Sound engineers support music and worship ministries by incorporating sound, media, and lighting into the worship experience. While most sound engineers work behind the scenes, their contribution to the worship experience is crucial.

Our Bachelor of Science (BS) in Music and Worship – Worship Technology Audio degree can help you develop your team management and audio technology skills and grow as a musician. You can explore how to record, edit, and produce music so your church can share original worship songs and arrangements with people around the world. God has a special call on your life, and we want to help you reach your full potential as a Champion for Christ in your worship ministry.
