Program Intro

How can music ensure spiritual depth and integrity in worship?

Music plays an important role in our worship and service to God and his church. Redeemer’s Music and Worship program emphasizes faith formation and deepening of the musical dimension of worship through experiential, practical learning and the pursuit of musical excellence and rigour.

Music and Worship is a Bachelor of Arts degree. It is offered as a major and as a minor.

Quick Links

Right from the start, you will gain an understanding of the role of music in worship as you study a wide selection of musical literature and its the principal eras, genres and cultural sources—including and especially the many genres of worship music, from past to present.

Through hands-on learning and practice, you'll gain the ability to articulate biblical and theological foundations for music in faith, church communities and life with opportunities to design worship services as you consider the role of music, liturgy, teaching, scripture and prayer.

Music and Worship The Core

The Core Curriculum is a set of 10 courses that every student takes. The courses are woven through every major and get you to think deeply and broadly about what you’re studying. Think about it this way…

  • Worship leaders have a deeper sense of beauty when they ground themselves in the narrative of Scripture.
  • Musicians who understand marketing trends and are effective collaborators are more successful in their business ventures.
  • Composers can communicate with poignancy when they understand the psyche of their audience.
