MUS 2503 Worship Arts I: Orientation

Three hours (On Campus)

Worship I is the first of two foundation courses placed at the beginning of the worship arts core sequence. This course seeks to discover each student’s “worship starting point,” identifying local church background and other worship experiences that have shaped this initial perspective. From there, lectures, discussions, and readings in the areas of theology, ecclesiology, and spiritual formation aim to broaden this worship perspective by cultivating an appreciation for various leadership, planning, and music styles that may or may not align with the student’s personal preference. In conjunction, the student is challenged to evaluate his or her worship leadership off the stage through candid group discussion and individual analysis. These exercises aim to broaden the student’s worship perspective by viewing all facets of life as genuine acts of worship. Same as MUS 2403.
