Music: Worship Arts
Jesus Christ is at the heart of worship, and it’s no coincidence that He is also at the center of everything we do at Cornerstone University. The worship arts program trains church leaders to stay committed to the heart of worship and share their gifts for His glory. Worship arts students graduate with the resolve to serve Christ wholeheartedly and lead congregations across the world with a dedication to their Lord.
All music degrees require an audition for entrance into the program and scholarship eligibility. The audition occurs in the spring semester of the high school senior year or at the conclusion of the freshman fall semester.

Alyssa Kaiser (’21)Cornerstone’s worship arts program has encouraged me to diversify my musical skills. Through my training here, I was encouraged to fuse together my training in classical music with newly developed skills in Christian contemporary music, gospel, jazz and Latin American music in order to build bridges between genres in the music world.
