Spiritual Transformation And Its Implications For Christian Worship, Thomas Wayne Doss
Spiritual Transformation And Its Implications For Christian Worship, Thomas Wayne Doss
Masters Theses
The life change that Christ Jesus wants to produce in His children is nothing short of miraculous. His offer of salvation immediately transforms the accepting person, bringing him into a divine relationship with the Heavenly Father, but Christ desires to further transform the new believer into a person who more accurately bears the image of God and declares His greatness and glory to all. This is a progressive and life-long process that calls the Christian to a life that includes sacrificial worship, avoidance of worldly living, and renewing the mind with godly pursuits. Because this is the will of God …
“Mi Alma Cantará”: Tracing Issues In Music Education Within The Colonial And Contemporary Latin American Church, Kerry Digiacomo
“Mi Alma Cantará”: Tracing Issues In Music Education Within The Colonial And Contemporary Latin American Church, Kerry Digiacomo
Senior Honors Theses
Music education and institutionalized Christianity have been criticized by historians and ethnomusicologists for their role in the domination and transformation of indigenous Latin American cultures since the late 15th century. However, indigenous peoples, including Amerindians as well as more recent mestizo and Ladino people groups, have also taken an active role in transforming European musics to reflect an emic understanding of their own cultural identity. Music education within the Latin American church has provided an interface for these complex interactions between foreign and native cultural influences. This paper will explore the connections between colonial and contemporary-era music education movements in …
The Intersections Of Music, Love, And Worship, Jacob C. Wessel
The Intersections Of Music, Love, And Worship, Jacob C. Wessel
Senior Honors Theses
When a right understanding of the doctrine of love infiltrates the art of music in the event of corporate worship, an opportunity arises for a unique synergism of knowledge, emotion and relationships. These qualities are paramount in the doctrine of love and practice of corporate worship, and they are especially encouraged by the powers of music. An exploration of these three aspects of love—knowledge, emotion and relationships—is here provided with special attention to the opportunity music and worship provide for intersections between them.
The Relationship Between The Christian Music Industry And Church Worship Music, Julianne E. Ashbaugh
The Relationship Between The Christian Music Industry And Church Worship Music, Julianne E. Ashbaugh
Senior Honors Theses
Music has been used for millennia to worship God. Today the words worship and music are almost interchangeable in American Evangelical churches. Christian music has become a growing genre with its own radio stations, billboard charts and awards, and recording artists who exclusively sing Christian songs. Church music has also changed drastically in the past century. The musical portion of a church service used to consist of hymns led by a choir and music director who is accompanied by a piano or organ. Now many churches have a worship leader who plans and leads the musical portion of the church …
Until Justice And Peace Embrace: Worship That Announces And Shapes Reconciliation, David M. Bailey, Shannon Jammal-Hollemans, Mwenda Ntarangwi, Kathy Smith, Sandra Maria Van Opstal, Nicholas Wolterstorff, David Rylaarsdam
Until Justice And Peace Embrace: Worship That Announces And Shapes Reconciliation, David M. Bailey, Shannon Jammal-Hollemans, Mwenda Ntarangwi, Kathy Smith, Sandra Maria Van Opstal, Nicholas Wolterstorff, David Rylaarsdam
Symposium on Worship Archive
Public worship and reconciliation are deeply connected. In worship, we announce the good news of reconciliation in Christ in sermons and songs. But we don’t speak or sing about it. In worship, we also practice habits that are fundamental building blocks of reconciliation: we confess sin, pass the peace to each other, and gather in unity around Christ’s table. At its best, public worship both announces and participates in Christ-shaped reconciliation. Yet this is not easy, especially when congregations are marked by divisions and conflict. What about churches that sing about reconciliation and unity, but seem unwilling or unable to …
Singing For Faith Formation: Nourishing Songs For Worship, Norma De Waal Malefyt, Rebecca Snippe
Singing For Faith Formation: Nourishing Songs For Worship, Norma De Waal Malefyt, Rebecca Snippe
Symposium on Worship Archive
Our time together will explore song resources especially from the new songbook Lift Up Your Hearts and their selection process that will guide a congregation’s faith development through song. We will think about how songs that are chosen not only express, but form faith.
Liturgy, Anthropology, And Life Cycle, Kathy Smith
Liturgy, Anthropology, And Life Cycle, Kathy Smith
Symposium on Worship Archive
How do children worship best? How can worship help young people through the teen years? What practices of worship resonate most with adults and elderly people? This workshop will look at the human life cycle and the developmental stages that all people grow through (cognitive, sensorimotor, psychological, moral, and faith development), and will consider what this means for all ages to participate fully in worship.

Where do we start? How do we even begin to create movement? Where can we find inspiration? Join us, and find out how to put dances together; whether you’re working with trained dancers, or not trained "pedestrians."
Children's Books About Worship, Kristen Verhulst
Children's Books About Worship, Kristen Verhulst
Symposium on Worship Archive
There are a number of wonderful picture and children’s books that help church school leaders, educators, and parents teach children about worship. These books focus on the sacraments, Christian year, the psalms, and prayer. Children’s books provide another means to welcome and engage children (and adults!) in worship as full members of the body of Christ.
From Missional Worship To Missional Living And Back Again, Chris Schoon Thd
From Missional Worship To Missional Living And Back Again, Chris Schoon Thd
Symposium on Worship Archive
Mission and worship have quite a history of being kept separate from each other. But what if they were intended to flow into each other, to be mutually edifying? In this session, we’ll explore characteristics of a missional approach to worship, paying attention to how our communal worship forms us for a missional way of life and how this missional living in turn pours back into our communal worship.
The Sound Of Scripture, Joy-Elizabeth Lawrence
The Sound Of Scripture, Joy-Elizabeth Lawrence
Symposium on Worship Archive
We spend hours planning and rehearsing music for worship. But what about scripture? If scripture is a central component of worship, how can we more intentionally and creatively present the text so that it is rehearsed, meaningful, and emotionally compelling? Answering both "why" and "how to," this workshop will provide an array of practical tools and examples to empower participants to put into practice what they have learned. This seminar will be assisted by students from Unity Christian High, who will participate in biblical storytelling, scripture tableaux, and choral readings using a variety of biblical literary genres.
Worship 101: Introduction To Principles And Invitation To Practice, Eric Mathis, Paul Ryan
Worship 101: Introduction To Principles And Invitation To Practice, Eric Mathis, Paul Ryan
Symposium on Worship Archive
Learning to lead worship takes practice, but where does one begin? In this seminar, we will present five vital worship leadership practices and the principles that shape and sustain them. We will learn about praying publicly, choosing music, speaking introductions and transitions, telling stories, and the planning process that pulls these practices, and more, together. Along the way we will see examples and hear testimonies from students. We will engage in exercises and share together around tables. By the end, participants will have many opportunities to practice skills and gather valuable resources for future planning and learning in their communities …
Accessible Gospel, Inclusive Worship: Vertical Habits In Action, Betty Grit, Barbara J. Newman
Accessible Gospel, Inclusive Worship: Vertical Habits In Action, Betty Grit, Barbara J. Newman
Symposium on Worship Archive
This workshop will give practical and innovative ideas for welcoming people of all ability levels into your worship service by using the framework of Vertical Habits—a set of habits that identify the words of worship that form our relationship with God and the way we live out our faith. Worship leaders, pastors, education volunteers, and worship planners will discover new ways to have each one enter into your corporate conversation with God.
Glorifying God In Worship, Cornelius Plantinga Jr.
Glorifying God In Worship, Cornelius Plantinga Jr.
Symposium on Worship Archive
The Scriptures are full of glory. Israel is told by prophets to "give glory to the Lord." Angels at Jesus’ birth sing "Glory to God in the highest heaven." In John’s Gospel the Father and the Son glorify each other. And in the Psalms and I Chronicles people are told to "ascribe to the Lord glory and strength. Ascribe to the Lord the glory of his name." But how would this go in worship today? What, exactly, does it mean to glorify God in worship? Isn’t God already maximally splendid? What more can mere mortals add?
In-Between Words, Paul Ryan, Worship Apprentices
In-Between Words, Paul Ryan, Worship Apprentices
Symposium on Worship Archive
Scripture readings, sermons, and songs take up most of the time in a worship service. But it’s often what happens in between them that is most telling. Those little words and phrases that welcome guests, introduce songs, and prepare us for prayer make all the difference for encouraging full participation in worship. These phrases are crucial for extending hospitality and for forming congregations for deep engagement with God and each other.
Links In The Liturgy: Creating "Flow" In A Worship Service, Howard Vanderwell
Links In The Liturgy: Creating "Flow" In A Worship Service, Howard Vanderwell
Symposium on Worship Archive
Are your worship services more like a novel which pursues a common theme, or a magazine that has a whole collection of elements which may (or may not) have much to do with each other? Vital worship can often be strengthened by an overall theme which holds it all together faithfully, and worship leaders will want to understand how creating links can help the service to be a complete conversation with God, flowing smoothly from one step to another. While this takes different forms in different worship traditions, we’ll explore the importance of these links, how best to create them, …
Sticky Liturgies: Worship, Youth Ministry, And The Faith Of America's Teenagers, Eric Mathis
Sticky Liturgies: Worship, Youth Ministry, And The Faith Of America's Teenagers, Eric Mathis
Symposium on Worship Archive
Research has shown that young people are abandoning the faith and leaving the church by the time they graduate from college. Might worship be part of the problem? This interactive workshop will briefly examine major studies in adolescent spirituality, explore multiple worship paradigms within individual congregations, and encourage reflection on the relationship between liturgical practice and adolescent spirituality
Leading Worship In A Post-Christian, Low-Biblical Literacy Age: Practical Lessons From Church History About The Catechetical Dimensions Of Worship, Gerald L. Sittser
Leading Worship In A Post-Christian, Low-Biblical Literacy Age: Practical Lessons From Church History About The Catechetical Dimensions Of Worship, Gerald L. Sittser
Symposium on Worship Archive
When we gather for worship, we long to have many people present who do not yet know the Bible well. We also long to have life-long worshipers, including our children and youth, come to know the Bible well. How can worship be led in ways that embrace these goals, in ways that foster greater love for and knowledge of God’s word? How can church history challenge us to imagine very practical ways of shaping warm, instructive, life-giving worship practices?
The Multicultural Dance: Its Implications For Christian Worship, Fernando A. Cascante-Gómez
The Multicultural Dance: Its Implications For Christian Worship, Fernando A. Cascante-Gómez
Symposium on Worship Archive
Using the imagery of "dancing" and based on the encounter of Jesus with the Syrophoenician woman as presented in the gospel of Mathew, participants in this workshop will be able to distinguish three steps to follow for relating with people from other cultural/ethnic backgrounds. Together we will discern some conceptual and practical implications of those steps when it comes to planning and implementing worship in a multicultural context.
Worshiping A Christ Who Is Hard To Know, Cornelius Plantinga Jr.
Worshiping A Christ Who Is Hard To Know, Cornelius Plantinga Jr.
Symposium on Worship Archive
In the gospels, Jesus seems to answer questions people did not ask. He abruptly switches topics. He unexpectedly falls silent. He exalts babies. He had to heal one man in two stages because he didn’t get it quite right at first. He needs to pray all the time. Frankly put, like his Father, Jesus Christ can be known but he is also hard to know. With this stubborn fact in mind, how shall we worship him?
Abraham Kuyper's Surprisingly Relevant Theology Of Liturgy, John D. Witvliet
Abraham Kuyper's Surprisingly Relevant Theology Of Liturgy, John D. Witvliet
Symposium on Worship Archive
Before Abraham Kuyper became a university leader and prime minister, he was a church historian and pastor. He wrote copiously and passionately about many topics, including both the devotional and liturgical dimension of worship. His writing offers much to challenge and deepen our own experience of worship, exploring how we can imagine heaven as we worship, how we can elicit sincere worship, and how we can perceive God’s action in and through worship. Come ready to think theologically and to leave with a set of sparkling quotations to provoke discussions in your ministry contexts back home.
Telling Stories In Worship: Principles And Practices, Eric Mathis
Telling Stories In Worship: Principles And Practices, Eric Mathis
Symposium on Worship Archive
This workshop will focus on telling stories in worship as well as the principles that shape and sustain this important worship leadership practice. While students will provide examples and discuss their own experiences with story-telling, workshop participants will be given the opportunity to practice their story telling skills as well as gather valuable resources for future planning and learning in their communities of faith.

Seven Streams Of 21st Century Congregational Song: Skills For Leading The People's Song In A Musically Multilingual World, Michael Hawn, James Abbington, William N. Heard, Jorge Lockward, Emmett G. Price Iii, Martin Tel
Symposium on Worship Archive
The last forty years has not only featured a profusion of new congregational songs, but also a profusion in new types and styles of congregational song. Musicians are increasingly called to be adept at leading quite different types of songs—as well as working collaboratively to empower others to do so. This seminar will present a clear, vivid description of seven streams of congregational song, and provide practical tools and examples for the unique kinds of leadership skills needed for music in each stream to enliven singing in your community.
Assessing The Effect Of Worship Education And Worship Renewal At First Baptist Church Kings Mountain, North Carolina, Jonathan Bundon
Assessing The Effect Of Worship Education And Worship Renewal At First Baptist Church Kings Mountain, North Carolina, Jonathan Bundon
Doctor of Ministry Projects
For many Christians, worship has been reduced to the entertainment value centered on self rather than the Triune God. Ignorance must be combated with worship education and worship renewal. For the worshiper, how one prepares for corporate worship affects their worship experience and informs their private worship. The four-week study, Spirit and Truth, introduced members of First Baptist Church Kings Mountain to worship education and renewal and challenged them to assess their own worship practices. Quantitative and qualitative test results and observations validated this project's needs. In addition, the project afforded opportunities that might contribute to a life-long experiment of …
