Next
to the Word of God, only music deserves to be
extolled as the mistress and governess of the
feelings of the human heart. -Martin
Luther
Enter
into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his
courts with praise .- psalm 100:4
King
David knew well what pleased God. He assigned
singers, chief of the fathers of the Levites,
who remaining in the chambers ..: for they were
employed in that work day and night. -Chronical
9:33
Even
though the music in worship is very important,
there is a shortage of music worship leader. Established
in 2005, Tao sheng College of Sacred Music is
the only college thus far in Taiwan that focuses
on providing training courses for church music.
Additionally, Taosheng requires four majors (piano,
voice, conducting and composition) So that the
students are able to handle all musical aspects
during worship .
Located
in Peitou, students can enjoy fresh air and a
quiet environment as well as our newly renovated
campus, classrooms, dormitories and a beautiful
view of Taipei City.
In
order to provide high quality programs in both
music and theology, our students have the opportunity
to learn from the best christian professors.
Beyond
our classroom instruction, students have had opportunities
to visit and perform nationally as well as internationally
in several churches and concert halls. We would
often invite other choir groups or famous musicians
to join our performances enriching our learning
experience.
Praise
the Lord, our students offer what they have learned
and serve in different churches. (Presbyterian,
Baptist, Quakers, Methodists, Anglican, Lutheran…)
As
a gift to all who have a love for traditional
church music, our choir has made a series of CDs.
In
2014, we established a scholarship fund in memory
of Pastor Kenneth Chen-our late dean. Pastor Chen
founded the College and it was his life's mission
to foster and support students to enable them
to serve churches through music.
We
will do our best to help any student who is willing
and eager to serve in the church to overcome all
challenges.
Our
vision is to prepare worship leaders for teaching
and serving in churches.
Despite
unstable financial support, by God's grace and
faithfulness the college has continued to flourish
through generous donations.
Please
continue to pray and support us in any way you
can as there is a shortage of worship leaders
in the church.
God
bless you!
