The Collegiate Worship Collective 

The main goal of the Collegiate Worship Collective is to meaningfully connect students with each other and the greater conference. Our overall vision is to build a relational worship leadership development pipeline to help students as they begin serving in vocational worship roles. The requirement for participation is simply to be enrolled at a college or seminary in undergraduate, master’s, or doctoral level studies and to have an interest in local church worship leadership.

What is it exactly? The collective is a combined ensemble sourced from a variety of schools and includes choir, vocal team, band, and orchestra. The group will be led by Dr. Cliff Duren and present a special worship event Tuesday morning of the conference. The current plan is to distribute 5-6 songs to the participants at the beginning of Febuary 2025 allowing practice time before the conference. Additionally, the group will rehearse for several hours at the conference venue while still being able to participate as student attendees.

Since the SBCMC deeply values student involvement, we are working to provide sponsored hotel stays as well as a reduced $50 conference registration.
