One of the hallmarks of vitality for the Church is its corporate worship. In the 21st century, worship leaders must be prepared to think creatively and act intentionally. These leaders will help the Church honor its past, present and future as a worshiping and witnessing community of faith.

At OBU, we are committed to providing a curriculum designed to prepare men and women for ministry through music and the arts. The Bachelor of Music in Church Music degree addresses the need for minister-musicians who can integrate biblical principles with a variety of artistic expressions and cultural dynamics to meet the challenges of ministry in an ever-changing world.

Feel free to contact me at any time if you have questions or would like further information about the program described on this website. It would be our joy to have you, or someone you know, as a Church Music major at Ouachita.
