Passionately Pursuing Excellence to the Glory of God

"Not that I have already obtained this, or have already been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus."

Philippians 3:12-14

Passion

The study of music requires great passion. Only those who are truly passionate are able to develop the disciplines necessary to be successful in music – to practice, study, perform, and teach others to do the same. There must be a passion, a fire that drives us to live out our calling in Christ. That passion will also fuel a desire for excellence.

Pursuit of Excellence

The pursuit of excellence is integral to music study. We who are believers have an even higher calling toward excellence as we bring our gifts of music performances not only for the enjoyment of our audiences, but also as an offering before the Lord. Just as our Creator God does all things well, we who are created in His image are to pursue that same excellence in all that we are called to do – pursuing excellence with the same passion that God pursues us.

Praise and Glory to God

Just as J.S. Bach signed his compositions with "Soli Deo Gloria" (to the glory of God alone), the School of Music at Colorado Christian University remains committed to providing world-class preparation for a life of service to the Lord through the Arts – a complete integration of our Christian faith into every aspect of music study and the performing arts to the praise and glory of God.

Performing Arts

The School of Music at Colorado Christian University currently offers four emphases in Music – performance, education, worship arts, and sound recording technology; as well as 18 hours of coursework available in Theatre, including three main stage productions annually.
