Do you have genuine musical ability and a desire to serve the Lord through a sacred music ministry? Because Christ-honoring music is an essential part of worship, Maranatha’s caring, high-caliber music instructors are dedicated to teaching music majors to develop their God-given abilities for ministry in the local church.

Music majors who select the Church Music track enjoy a program centered on excellence and ministry versatility. Courses such as Harmony 1 through 4, Hymnology, and Music in the Local Church will give you the needed skills to integrate Scripture, music, instruments, and voice into worship services. In addition to excellent academic training, you’ll benefit from a Church Music internship and opportunities to participate in Maranatha’s choirs, band, and ensembles.
