Mission Statement
The Center for Worship Arts seeks to help students develop informed minds, inflamed hearts, and engaged hands to minister through the arts in a variety of contexts.
As a professional major, the Worship Arts Major will be supplemented by one of eight required concentrations: Drama Ministry, Faith and Film, Creative Expressions, Religious Studies, Songwriting, Worship Leadership, Performance, or Worship Media. A student majoring in Worship Arts will take the required core of classes, and then choose one of eight concentrations.

Designed as the portal for all Worship Arts majors, this introductory class defines and explores foundational questions in the Worship Arts including the purpose of worship, the role of the worship leader and the place of worship in the local church and her mission. This course will serve as a prerequisite for all other WAS courses. Fall.
Focuses on developing a foundation for understanding and nurturing the spiritual life of a worship leader. Course work will involve the study of classic spiritual disciplines and the writing of one's personal worship journey.
Explores the biblical and historical practices of worship from the patriarchal period to postmodern times. Special attention is given to exploring historical shifts in how Christian people have understood God, the church, salvation and the church-culture intersection with respect to worship. Fall.
An interactive examination of the unifying elements and the dynamic diversity of worship. Attention is given to the theology and practice of sacraments, the Christian calendar and its use in worship, the relationship among the different elements of corporate worship and the overall design of the worship service.
Designed to aid students in exploring many of the dynamics of communication that take place in the context of worship. Topics will include voice and articulation; non-verbal communication; interpersonal communication and the voice and choice of art in worship.
A supervised practicum designed to give students the opportunity to observe and experience the role and responsibilities of a worship arts pastor in a local church. In addition to on-site observation, students will participate in on-campus guided small groups for reflection, mentoring and spiritual formation.
A cumulative integration of the students learning and experience in a worship ministry assignment. Students will participate in worship leadership in a congregational setting. During this internship, students will create a Senior Project that will be carried out within the context of worship in their ministry assignment. Students will participate in on-campus guided small groups for reflection, mentoring and spiritual formation.
An exploration of skills and considerations involved with leading worship. Topics include learning how to lead people into the presence of God; becoming an "invisible" worship leader; learning the relationship between form and freedom in worship; building a comprehensive music culture; creating congregation friendly arrangements and singing keys; rehearsal planning and execution for a praise band, choir and instrumental section; and developing a philosophy of technology and sound dynamics.
Fosters the understanding that there are a wide variety of contemporary cultural expressions of worship. With this in mind, students will gain skills in identifying practical theological questions and interpreting contexts, as well as pastoral and practical insights that will guide them in creating God-centered worship. Attention will be given to new ministries, church plants, and the renewal of existing congregations.
A study of the nature of theology as a systematic, logical and disciplined activity within the Wesleyan-Holiness tradition. This course will consider theological method and the doctrine of God, understanding that worship ultimately informs and shapes our understandings of God.
An examination of leadership and administration skills for worship ministry, the development of a budget and calendar, and working with a larger church staff.
A cumulative integration of the students learning and experience in a worship ministry assignment. Students will focus on and participate in worship leadership and the pastoral duties of a worship ministry pastor. Students will participate in on-campus guided small groups for reflection, mentoring and spiritual formation.
