Mission

The mission of the Music and Elective Opportunities Program at CFNI is to raise up musicians and singers who are both skilled and anointed, equipping them to minister with excellence and serve as worship leaders and influencers in their generation. Our goal is to provide the musical training, spiritual foundation, and practical tools needed for students to faithfully lead in the calling God has placed on their lives.

As a CFNI student, you will have the opportunity to participate in elective classes offered through the Music and Elective Opportunities Program. Please note that elective classes offered through this program are available for an additional fee and are not included in standard tuition.
