Department of Music and Worship

Cedarville University is an accredited institutional member of the National Association of Schools of Music.

Come celebrate the music of America with us! Cedarville's Department of Music and Worship presents the Masterworks All-American Concert on Friday, March 24, 2023, at 7 p.m. in the James T. Jeremiah Chapel in the Dixon Ministry Center.

In the Cedarville University Department of Music and Worship, Bach’s famous phrase “Soli Deo Gloria” (for the glory of God alone) is more than a slogan — it is the mission that drives all we do. We truly believe that our music and worship degree programs honor the Master Creator through our shared creativity.
