WORS 3423 Planning and Leading Worship

3 credits
Since worship is more than music, this courses is designed to familiarize the student with the full range of Christian liturgy-the Word, the sacraments, prayers, praise, the creeds, the Christian Year, and, of course, worship music, including hymns, gospel songs, and contemporary choruses. It is intended to be a practical study examining the proper role of each element in traditional, contemporary, or blended worship design which is true to biblical and theological principles. Attention to planning is one side of the coin; the course will also highlight the methodologies of worship leadership. Recommended that student have completed RELG 4173 Christian Worship before enrolling for this course.
