The Visual Worship components of the conference will be led by BCF Associate Professor Buford Cox, the media instructor for the music technology courses at the college. Using his unique skillsets, combined with a well-defined knowledge of the cutting edge of music and worship technology, Cox is pivotal in training Christian leaders to stay at the forefront of the field.
