In today’s digital world, the Church has evolved to include so many more ministry platforms than it had in the past. A church can now minister through videos, social media, live broadcast streaming, and various other ways. Many churches even rely on technical elements to guide their worship bands each weekend.With the rapidly changing role of technology in the Church, you can see why getting an education to become a Creative Arts Pastor would be a great idea.Contents
Most contemporary churches have jobs that are related to Creative Arts. Some other titles you may have heard are Creative Director, Creative Pastor, Media Minister, or Worship Arts Director. If you have a gifting with technology and creative arts, pursuing an education in this area might be a way for you to serve the Church with your degree.
A Creative Pastor has a very important role in the church and is involved with many behind-the-scenes operations of communicating to the church and to those outside the church. A qualified Creative Pastor may be skilled in overseeing:
The Creative Director designs the flow of church services and plans the creative elements of special events. Another aspect of being equipped to become a Creative Pastor is leadership, as part of the Creative Pastor’s job is to lead team members who serve or work on the church’s creative team.
Growing into this skill set might seem like an overwhelming task, but Visible Music College has programs to fit your unique needs. We have a curriculum and mentors to prepare you for your future role as a Creative Pastor. There are three different avenues for furthering your education in this area.
