Worship Arts

"There is nothing in the world so much like prayer as music is."

William P. Merrill, Author, Pastor, and Justice of the Peace (1867-1954)

Why Worship Arts?

For students who are interested in pursuing a career that will allow them to use their musical gifts and talents in ministry, CCU offers the Bachelor of Music - Worship Arts degree. By combining elements of sound recording technology and theatre with music through this program, students are philosophically, practically, and spiritually equipped for effective leadership and administration of a music/worship ministry within the Body of Christ. The Worship Arts degree also offers excellent preparation for graduate school or seminary.

Worship Arts in the Christian University

The Worship Arts program focuses on the development and practice of worship throughout history and of the contemporary church. While not promoting a particular style of worship, it equips students to be knowledgeable and capable in most forms of Protestant worship. Particular attention is paid to working with all instruments including voices, along with a distinct performance and internship requirement.
