Worship Leadership - Milligan College

Worship Leadership from Milligan College is a Campus Bachelor Religious Studies degree that prepares you for a Liberal Arts career. Few ministry roles have such an immediate impact on churches today as the Worship Leader. Milligan College seeks to prepare people for such leadership through a combination of biblical studies, historical awareness, general ministry preparation, and artistic skills. We believe that leading worship of God through Jesus Christ demands the best of knowledge and ability, but also the spiritual depth and integrity to help others worship ?in spirit and truth.? Consequently, this major is a combination of portions of the Bible major and of music and fine arts. Students are encouraged to take more of the classes in either discipline for additional benefit, but the combination in the requirements for this major will provide a good starting point and sufficient tools to build a solid and lasting ministry . This major clearly supports the mission of the college in that it prepares students to ?honor God through servant-leadership.? It does that through aiming directly toward several of the objectives: it is based on developing and strengthening ?a Positive, Personal Christian Faith that Jesus is Lord and Savior?; it strongly emphasizes ?A Commitment to Follow the Teachings of the Christian Scripture? through every facet of both ministry role and personal life; it urges the students by leadership in the local church to ?Recognize and Assume Responsibility in Society?; it promotes ?Sound Scholarship? through the combination of disciplines of study and improvement of skills; it equips students for a professional career through a Christian vocation, thereby preparing people to ?Secure an Enriched Quality of Life?; and it leads toward a ?Healthy Lifestyle? by full participation in the active life of a local church and by using God-given talents directly in His service. Worship leadership prepares a student to participate in the ministry staff of a local church and lead Christian people in worship that is scripturally sound and musically or artistically competent. By building on the basic education received in this Milligan degree program, a student can appropriately develop the worship and musical or artistic strengths of a church and personally function in other ministry roles if needed or desired. The liberal arts foundation and the cross-emphasis in ministry focus provide an excellent platform on which to stand and lead, or to continue to build more specialized leadership. Milligan College expects those who graduate with a worship leadership major to (1) be equipped to lead worship in a way that conveys the fullness of mind and spirit before God - communicating with and for the current culture but still retaining the strength of scriptural faith and Christian history; (2) be prepared for service in a leadership role of ministry in the church and be able to function as a part of a team/staff relationship; (3) be able to understand, work with, and lead others in expressions of worship through musical, dramatic, and/or visual arts; (4) be equipped to pursue seminary or graduate education with a good preparation for that advanced study; and (5) provide a good Christian example as a student of scripture and disciple of Jesus. Emphases of spiritual dependence upon God, solid academic study, including serious study of the Bible itself, and practices of both integrity and effectiveness highlight this program of study.
