Graduate Worship

Master Arts in African American Worship and Leadership Studies: The AAWLS program is an innovative degree that combines ministry training with thoughtful and practical ways to serve the Black church. In this pioneering program, leading African American educators, pastors, musicians, composers, theologians, and artists partner with Trevecca faculty to lend expertise and valuable ministry experience in order to equip those in local ministry with tools for supporting and uplifting Black congregations. This degree is exclusively online and can be completed in as little as 18 months.

Master of Arts in Worship: The purpose of the Master of Arts in Worship (MAW) degree is to equip professional worship practitioners, already serving as musicians in a local church, in the strategic areas of spiritual formation, discipleship, ministry application, team building, personal disciplines, theology, and leadership. Special opportunity is given to application of these principles to four related disciplines by offering specialized tracks in: African American Worship Studies; Leadership; Business Management; and/or Theology and Biblical Studies. The MAW is a 36-hour online degree.

Master of Arts in Worship and Business Management and Master of Arts in Worship and Leadership: The WBM and MWL degrees are two market driven programs of study that equip bi-vocational and full time worship pastors in worship studies and either leadership or Business management. Considered collaborative degrees because of the equal emphasis in two specific disciplines, courses are designed to equip students in areas of theology, spiritual formation, pastoral administration, contextualization and people skills essential for the worship pastor already serving a local congregation. The degrees are exclusively available to online students and can be completed in 18 months.
