- Recognize multiple methods of using music to lead appropriate and effective worship services.
- Describe practical issues addressed by church worship ministers and Biblically informed approaches to those issues.
- Participate in organizing a church worship ministry that recruits, trains, and motivates volunteers.
- Participate in group musical activities where they learn to work with others to create shared God-honoring musical experiences.
