Faculty in the Music Department

Ohio Christian University is committed to three areas of excellence: learning environment, curricular content, and spiritual environment. Our faculty have carefully planned the curricula of the university so that it carries out our mission. The thrust of our mission is to prepare students to succeed in their ministries and careers, thus serving both the church and society. Our education programs are planned for students to be able to take with them significant learning experiences gained in the classrooms under the instruction of Christian professors and through spiritual experiences that become defining moments for their lives.
