Student Testimonies

My time at Cedarville was very instrumental in developing my skills and bringing out my potential as a leader and a worshipper. I really appreciate that the church music program did not try to corral us into a specific style, but instead let us discover our own way, equipped with musical knowledge and a good theoretical foundation of worship. Worship leading is a constant learning experience, but I left Cedarville with a lot of tangible reasons to be confident that I was ready for that next step.

"The preparation I received while at Cedarville has proved invaluable to my successes in my new career. High demands in musicianship as well as spiritual growth have allowed me to have a jump start in my career as a Pastor. I didn't always know that this was the career path I was interested in, but through my studies and the opportunities that I had at Cedarville I knew this was the profession God was calling me to for this season of life. I cannot believe how much I have benefited from the classroom projects and discussions during my time at Cedarville."

I chose to come to Cedarville for the worship major. It is very unique and fits me really well, especially since I'm not very proficient in classical piano since I chose to pursue jazz. I love how I am able to use my abilities in both vocal and piano fields, as well as take a lot of classes outside of music. The Worship major is really well rounded and flexible. I am glad I will be able to take classes that will really benefit my future such as more Bible classes, conducting, electronic media courses, and music administration classes.

I chose the worship degree simply because it seemed real to me. The faculty that I knew I was going to be working with had a heart for God and a passion for worship. I knew my future needed to be built upon worship, and the worship degree was a brand new degree that I knew was going to help me in my journey.

"There is much excitement and enthusiasm surrounding the new Worship degree. I chose it because it offers excellent training in both music and ministry as well as the freedom to double-major in related fields."
