Certificate of Christian Ministries,
Biblical Worship Track
Purpose
The Certificate of Biblical Worship is a one-year program that is newly offered at Pacific Bible College and taught by Pastor Dan Bullis, B.M.Ed., of Grace Point Church.
This certificate is designed to be a launching pad for those desiring to serve in worship ministry, preparing you with the skills you need to lead effectively:
- grounding in Scripture and theology
- proficiency in voice, instruments, music theory
- audio and tech fundamentals
Theologies & Practices
Students will learn:
- an understanding of the theological purpose of worship.
- the process of song selection and set development that is both theologically rich and congregationally engaging.
- leadership principles such as the importance of setting a culture, casting clear vision and setting specific, measurable goals.
- some of the joys and challenges associated with leading volunteers and navigating the difficult conversations that are often associated with worship ministry.

Aural Skills
Learn the language of music—rhythm, notation, how chords are built, how they fit together. Classes cover standard chord chart symbols as well as the “Nashville” number system.

Audio & Tech Fundamentals
Our tech class will focus on sound setup, signal flow, use of EQ and Compression and approach to mixing “Front of House”.
