Christian Worship

The Christian worship degree is for students headed for worship ministries in the church. This degree combines courses from three areas: religion, communications and music. You'll get your worship history and theology from the religion division; your drama, television, theater and production courses from the communications department; plus music and conducting from the music division.

This major will train you for leading and producing worship celebrations in a church. It is especially designed to be combined as a double major to enable you to have a broad variety of education and training as you prepare for staff ministries in the church. Constance Cherry is the lead professor in this program and will personally mentor you as you move through the varied courses in all three subject areas. Your Christian worship degree will train you for leading worship in an exciting and expanding field. This is the most recently established major in religion. Come join us!
