Abstract
With its strong history of producing worship leaders who serve in well-known churches in Arkansas, Texas and beyond, Ouachita’s School of Fine Arts has been on the radar of local churches for decades. And as the ministry of worship continues to change, the preparation Ouachita offers also is shifting to equip rising worship leaders.
“Being proficient in music is not enough,” said Larry Grayson, chair of the Department of Worship Arts and instructor of music. “You have to be good at it, but it’s not enough. Students have to be willing to be equipped for ministry. It is crucial for today’s worship leader to be a sound theologian. If you come to Ouachita as a gifted high school worship leader and you leave the same, we’ve failed at our job. We want to equip you musically, spiritually and as a leader to serve the local church.”
