The Master of Arts in Worship Leadership is a unique program designed to engage worship leaders in a holistic study of Christian worship in order to educate the Church both individually and corporately in the theological and practical dimensions of worship. The program provides "worship leaders"— whether they are pastoral, educational, music, student (youth), or otherwise— a sound theological, transformational, and practical program for worship foundation and practice.
