Worship Studies
This degree empowers students seeking to strengthen their music skill for the worship ministry. In addition to the excellent bible and theology courses that are offered in our core curriculum, students will complete the intermediate worship curriculum. Beginners will gain fluency in the language of music through learning music theory and agility on an instrument through specific instrument training. Intermediate and advanced musicians may have early access to our many specialized courses depending on what level they place.
Testimonial
—Connie Kao
“IHOPU is the place for anyone, no matter where you come from! After spending a year overseas in missions I decided to transition out of a career in digital marketing to pursue my passion for worship and missions. I already had years of classical violin training and experience serving on church worship teams, but I was able to learn so much more. I got equipped and trained in music theory and learned different instruments to further my calling.“
