It focuses, more particularly, on the role, influence, and importance of worship in Christian witness, Christian formation, and church growth, especially within varying cultural contexts. A Biblical foundation and practical framework for effectively creating and leading in meaningful Christian worship will be developed.
Worship lies at the heart of the Christian faith and the church's missionary task.
Students will develop a Biblical basis and practical tools for effective mission via worship planning and leadership. Lectures, guest lecturers, worship demonstrations, audio and video clips, class discussions, and student presentations create a multi-media format. Participation in class activities, including worship sessions, is crucial for integrating theological reflections and developing appropriate worship patterns for varying cultural contexts.
