Worship Ministry Major
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 Bachelor of Arts in worship ministry program trains today’s and tomorrow’s church leaders theologically and musically in the skills necessary to plan and lead worship that invites active participation in the presence of the LORD.
A major in worship ministry features classes in music and worship, ministry and theology, spiritual formation, and foundations of Christian spirituality. Taught from a Christian worldview perspective by professors with experience in the leading worship for congregations of all sizes, this program equips you to graduate with the resolve to serve Christ and lead congregations across the world with dedication and faithfulness.
Music scholarships are available through an audition process. The audition occurs in the spring semester of the high school senior year or at the conclusion of the freshman fall semester.
