“I have learned so much about the Bible, God, the church, community and myself through classes, chapels and living on campus.“

Have you felt a calling to become a worship leader, song evangelist, or use your musical talent in another form of ministry?
We’re told in Psalm 98:4, to “Make a joyful noise unto the LORD.” Do you feel a calling on your life to serve God through instrumental and/or vocal music? Here at KMBC, we’re passionate about worship and have many opportunities for hands-on ministry. Whether your forte is worshiping in a small group setting, solo, or in a choir, KMBC can help you reach your musical potential.
The Music Department is focused on preparing men and women to meet the demands for trained leadership in worship and other music-related ministries. This program will provide the student with a philosophy of music ministry, knowledge of music theory, and the development of certain skills required to minister effectively through music. In addition to the Music Ministry Program, a number of opportunities are provided for practical outreach experiences, including the KMBC choir and leading worship in local churches.
The Worship Pastor program is for students who wish to lead worship in a church setting. Students will learn the fundamentals of music theory, music ministry, and leadership skills to serve God and their congregations. In addition to classroom knowledge of music, students will have numerous opportunities for hands-on experience in leading worship. This will be through KMBC’s choir, singing groups (by audition), and leading worship on campus as well as in the community.
The Music Ministry program is designed for students who feel called to use their talents for God, but not necessarily in a church setting. Students will learn the fundamentals of music while applying special attention to their personal worship styles and skills. Opportunities for experience while in the program include choir, singing groups (by audition), and leading worship on campus and in the local community.
