The Media Arts and Ministry program prepares Christian servant leaders for the use of Media Arts within ministry.  In an era of rapidly evolving technology, we strive to give students a foundation to evaluate and incorporate future technology in ministry.  As a student you will be equipped with technology and leadership skills to serve in local ministries in the area of creative arts, media arts, and various technology positions.  Three main areas of study will include the use of audio, video, and stage design but you can also expand your skill set by adding courses in business, marketing, or communication.
