Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary recently welcomed 80 high school students for the Texas Baptist College Student Worship Camp, where faculty and students helped attendees fine-tune their musical skills and study the theology of worship and how to serve their church in that area.
“Our goal for the camp is to help equip students to serve more effectively in their own churches and to help raise up the next generation of worship leaders,” said Joe Crider, dean of the School of Church Music and Worship, said of the June 3-6 event.
Marc Brown, assistant professor of church music and organizer of the camp, said the event provided a service to churches raising up worship leaders in their congregation.
Brown recalled how systems were in place during his time in youth groups to help teach and better equip young Christians to lead worship, but said those traditions are often not in place anymore.
