Fall Worship Class at Toronto Baptist Seminary

Here is a preliminary look at what we will be covering in "The Worshipping Church" - a class I will be teaching Friday mornings this semester at TBS...

Course Description:

In this course we will explore the theology, history and practice of Christian worship, as well as current trends. In addition, students are required to attend a 1 hour of practicum which is designed to develop techniques and tools for leading dynamic and expressive worship.
I intend to make the practicum part of the class time.

Course Objective:

For the student to understand and love Jesus more through understanding how He desires to be worshipped!
