Worship Leadership & Theology, MA

Worship Leaders serving the church today must often choose between a graduate degree that helps them excel in the arts or one that strengthens their theological foundation. The Master of Arts in Worship Leadership and Theology explores the rich historical and Biblical intersection between theology and doxology. Our prayer is to offer even more resources to the modern Worship Leader, to deepen their theological framework, while enhancing their artistry and ministry to the local church. While we will provide ample opportunities for learning in the classroom, we seek to cultivate true practitioners of ministry who shepherd their congregations with humility and excellence.
