Music and Worship

At Ozark Christian College in Joplin, Missouri, we understand that leading the church in worship requires musical skill, theological depth, personal conviction, and pastoral wisdom. As you earn the Bachelor of Arts in Music and Worship, you'll grow in singing and playing an instrument, work with creative teams in planning worship services, gain experience with digital audio and video equipment, and explore the biblical and historical foundations of worship.

Music and Worship students are prepared to:

 

  • sing, play an instrument, or work with a team to plan worship services.
  • articulate the biblical and historical foundations of worship.
  • serve as a worship leader, creative arts director, or technical director.
