Courses in the Music Ministry Concentration:

1.) APTH 4675: Experiencing God: Knowing and Doing the Will of God

2.) APTH 4685: Creativity and the Spirit

  As a creative individual, the key to the release of creativity is close communion and connection with God.  We were made by God as creative beings; therefore, through the power of the Holy Spirit, we are his instruments and vessels as an expression of His creativity to the world.
