Program Overview
From Our Students:
-
I wanted a program that is grounded in rich theology and would give me the tools and feedback necessary to lead music excellently. The program gives a strong theological foundation for why we sing and Whom we sing to while also providing training on how to implement that foundational knowledge into a local church or ministry context.
