DBU trains students for the business of music
DALLAS–Most universities have business schools, and many have music schools. Dallas Baptist University has married the two disciplines into a unique new bachelor's degree in music business.
The degree prepares students for work in the commercial music industry. DBU is the only four-year school in the Metroplex to offer such a degree.
Professor Terry Fansler instructs Justin Brooks and Christine Hand on how to use studio equipment. “I tell my students, music is the product, and business is the process used to drive that product,” said Terry Fansler, DBU director of studies in music business. “To be successful in the music industry, students must clearly understand both the product and the process. This degree offers both–and in the right proportions. A good portion of the courses are in music, but an even larger percentage are in business.”

TOGETHER:
For Texas' sake, fund new churchesDoes Texas need more churches? Absolutely. We will have 1.7 million more people in Texas over the next five years. And if we do not meet them with the gospel and give them a place to belong in the body of Christ, we will be found negligent in our response to Christ's command.

The BGCT Church Multiplication Center's “Genesis Project” goal is to help start 777 churches in three years. Since the project was launched in 2002, the center has resourced the starting of 372 churches. But our ability to continue helping start churches depends on more mission dollars through the Cooperative Program and the Mary Hill Davis Offering.
Recently, Abe Zabaneh, director of the Church Multiplication Center, spoke to our Texas Baptist Missions Foundation about why we need more churches. He identified five reasons:
