Welcome to the School of Church Music
Since 1915, the School of Church Music has provided, and continues to provide, the highest education in church music for individuals seeking to engage in Christian ministry.
Our students come from around the world to study in world-class facilities under some of the most renowned professors in their field. Every student is encouraged to perform with a professional symphony, minister in chapel to our entire student body and train for dynamic servant leadership in the local church and beyond.
Our alumni have taken positions of music leadership in churches, colleges, denominational agencies and mission fields.
Our vision is to provide an educational environment conducive to spiritual growth and deepening awareness of the scope of the ministry of music, promoting a harmonious understanding of the relation of this ministry to all other aspects of Christian ministry.
A Greeting from the Dean
The School of Church Music celebrates a legacy of preparing leaders in music who will actively engage the church, the classroom, and the performance hall. We have programs that study everything from the music of early times to some of the most recent music of today. Our programs in jazz, composition, history, ministry and performance are all enhanced by a solid foundation in the scriptures and supported by world class faculty.
If you are interested in becoming a student at the School of Church Music at Southwestern, you will find the opportunity to prepare for your future with a biblical worldview. Your faith, musical understanding and ability will be grounded and sharpened. The discipline, skill and perspective you acquire here will prepare you for a lifetime of service to Christ through music.
We look forward to welcoming you into our school as a student, parent or supporter.
Dr. Stephen P. Johnson, Dean
