Pair your love for music with a solid liberal arts education that will broaden your view of ministry. The Bachelor of Arts in Worship Music consists of courses rooted in the humanities; Bible and ministry courses from Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, and leadership courses from our communications department. Study church history, practices of worship, technology in worship, and more while sharpening your musical gifts.
There’s nothing like hands on, practical experience. Your Trinity BA in Worship Music will prepare you for full-time worship ministry in churches, parachurch organizations, or missions. You’ll spend time learning under the mentorship of seasoned worship and music leaders as a part of your internship in a local church.
“The worship major is a unique opportunity for Christian musicians to study what they are passionate about–music, the Word of God, and leadership. I’ve been provided with endless tools and resources that I know will come in handy as I begin working in ministry.”—Erin Kattner ’23
The BA in Worship Music weaves studies in worship, ministry, and music. Students will be exposed to diverse worship traditions and take core music courses.
Some of the courses you’ll take will include:
Additionally, you’ll come away with competency in two of these areas: piano, classical guitar, or voice.
Pair your BA in Worship Music with a minor like Bible and ministry, business, or computer science. Graduates can explore a vocation as a missionary, worship leader, church music writer and composer, worship technology coordinator, music entrepreneur, and more.
