Course Description:

If the next generation is to partake of our heritage, we must commit to their remembrance our legacy so that they can, in turn, teach others. We must set up memorial stones that will cause them to ask: “What mean ye by these stones?” (Joshua 4:6, KJV). The COGIC (Collection of God Inspired Choruses) expression, and that of many black Pentecostal ministries, has been put on the back burner because it was labeled as the music of the unlearned, steeped in emotionalism, and said to have no redeeming value; but it is our desire to revive those songs that summon the very presence of God. We will revisit the great songs and hymns of faith that have, throughout the ages, served as a bulwark of strength for the Christian church; and we will examine the contributions of the great IMD pioneers who laid the foundation upon which our department now stands.

Goals/Outcome:

After completing this course, participants will obtain a wealth of knowledge related to the history of the International Music Department of the Church of God in Christ.

Text Required: The Holy Bible

Technology Required: iPad, laptop, smartphone, etc. (An electronic device with internet access to complete the end of the course survey.)
