Program Advisor

The Worship specialization is for students desiring to worship God and for developing skills in worship ministry.

“I felt a call on my life to learn more about God’s Word and learn how to use my gifts for His glory. I decided to check SBC out and after a month I decided to stay for three years. Working together with a group of other musicians who are all very talented and finding out how we can work together to make beautiful music. Also how to be authentic in leading worship, not just playing a show, but actually being involved and engaged in worship. Also having a group of others helps me stay accountable to not doing it for myself, but rather focusing on what God wants."
