Course Highlights
Planning Worship Theologically will give you the opportunity to be refreshed and equipped with biblical approaches to planning a Sunday morning worship service centered on Christ and geared toward discipleship.
Course Details:
- Create a philosophy of gospel-centered worship.
- Learn how to arrange the worship service in a way that is biblical and in light of church tradition.
- Study the history of worship in the Protestant, Catholic, and Orthodox traditions.
- Gain tools for change management and understanding church culture.
- Take the course at your own pace with weekly flexibility.
- Meet once a week with your professor and classmates to discuss the coursework and its practical applications.
*Since you will use your own church worship model as a “lab” throughout the course, you will gain tools and ideas you can immediately apply to your own congregation!
