CERTIFICATE IN WORSHIP LEADERSHIP

The Certificate in Worship Leadership (CWL) at United is intended for the cultivation and formation of worship leaders and pastors in the church. In this certificate, students will examine principles of worship to learn how to design and preside over services of Christian worship, as well as what it truly means to be a Worship Leader. The certificate presents opportunities to explore biblical, theological, historical and practical foundations of worship while applying learnings in students’ unique contexts.

The program consists of three online courses, offered year-round. The duration of each course is fourteen weeks. Through this fully online program, students will learn from experienced instructors and connect with a community of students and fellow worship leaders. Upon completion of the program, each student receives a Certificate in Worship Leadership.

This program is a great foundation for persons who are interested in music leadership, design and the arts or who currently participate in regular worship planning in the local church. A bachelor’s or master’s degree is not a prerequisite. As an added benefit, students will be able to transfer these courses into United’s Certificate in Theology and Ministry (CTM) or Certificate in Service and Leadership (CSL) programs with an Emphasis in Worship Leadership.
