Christian Worship minor
Students who are majoring in another program may choose to take a Christian Worship minor in addition to their primary course of study. A minor normally consists of a minimum of 15 semester hours, six of which must be taken at the 300/400 level. Each academic school or department must approve the student and curriculum to be used in the completion of each minor for the Office of the Registrar to verify at the point of graduation.
“The title of the album comes from my desire to humbly ask God to constantly fill me with new life," said Black. "I am passionate about giving hymns a broader audience, and hope to preserve their messages while breathing new life into them.”
