Honoring Dr. Lindel M. Anderson

Dr. Lindel M. Anderson's passion for nurturing aspiring worship leaders and his relentless pursuit of excellence in worship education have shaped the very fabric of the Worship Studies Department. As he prepares to transition from his role as Dean of Worship Studies, we want to reflect on the enduring legacy he leaves behind and the countless lives he has inspired and transformed through his visionary leadership and unwavering commitment to fostering a culture of worship rooted in biblical principles. Help us honor him at IBC Music Fest on April 10-12, 2024.
