Details of the Music Ministry Major
The Music Ministry major at Barclay College is designed to prepare students to lead the church of the twenty-first century in worship that honors God, effectively reaches and communicates to the current culture, and preserves the best of the Christian musical heritage. Students have many opportunities to share their talents for the Lord in area churches through the choir, worship teams, ensembles, drama and solos. There are also opportunities in local churches to serve as worship leaders and music ministers to gain practical knowledge and experience in their chosen field.
