MA Worship-Ethnomusicology
Liberty Baptist Theological Seminary's Master of Arts in Worship Studies with a concentration in Ethnomusicology prepares musicians and worship leaders to become missionaries–or musical ambassadors–in various cultural settings. Studying the biblical and theological foundations of worship, you will develop a strong Christian worldview and explore the role of music and art within various cultures. The program includes training in biblical leadership techniques, pastoral–staff relations, the varying roles of the worship leader and the ongoing relationship to global worship.
You will study qualitative and quantitative research methods applicable to a variety of worship cultures and contexts within the evangelical community. Courses are taught by today's top Christian leaders in worship music, song writing and arranging, including Al Denson (worship leader/CCM artist/songwriter), Rick Muchow (worship pastor, Saddleback Community Church), Todd Bell (worship pastor/producer, Prestonwood Baptist Church) and Mark Harris (worship leader/song writer/band member of 4Him).
