Music
The power to move a generation
The communication of a culture
The language of worship
At OZARK CHRISTIAN COLLEGE, music is woven into the fabric of every aspect
of campus life. From Chapel services to special community-wide programs, from
the sounds of radio station KOBC
90.7 FM to traveling Outreach Ministry
Teams, from campus-wide worship to personal devotions, music is the vehicle
to communicate the message of faith.
Churches throughout the United States and the world also know the value of
music and music ministry. Growing ministries place music in a central role in
their evangelism, involvement, youth, education, and worship programs.
The OCC Music Department exists to prepare ministers of music and worship who
are well-trained and well-equipped to serve the local church. Through classroom
teaching, extracurricular activities, and practical application in real-life
settings, skills are developed to raise up a new generation of ministers using
music to share the love of Jesus.
