MA in Christian Education – Worship Ministries

In addition to studying for the Master of Arts in Christian Education degree (MACE), students may also choose to earn a concentration in Worship Ministries (WM). This concentration prepares men and women to mobilize people to follow God’s call on their lives to use their God-given spiritual gifts and abilities as they pursue their passions in His name with an emphasis on foundational musical knowledge and abilities. An undergraduate music degree is not required as a prerequisite for the WL concentration.

1. Demonstrate knowledge, understanding, and appreciation of Biblical, theological, historical, philosophical, and psychological foundations of Christian Education in the context of mobilization.
2. Demonstrate knowledge, understanding, and appreciation of developmental theories and their application to Christian education in the context of mobilization.
