A Guidebook & Discussion for Worship Leaders, Music Directors & Pastors

Let’s face it – the quality of music in the church often pales in comparison with the quality offered by the world. And yet, our message is so much more important! How can the church compete with the quality the world offers if we don’t make the pursuit of quality a priority in our music ministries? This is a thorough discussion of how to build a music program that attracts quality musicians and inspires inexperienced players to greater musical standards.

• How do you define and identify a quality musician?
• What drives quality musicians and what can I do to attract them into my ministry?
• Can (or should) we ever pay musicians?
• Can non-believers ever be invited in?
• Once they’re in, how do we keep them, lead them, and affect their lives for eternity?

Includes interviews and comments from noted experts in contemporary music ministry, including: Israel Houghton, Paul Baloche, Sally Morgenthaler, Buddy Owens, Denise Graves, Morris Chapman, Tom Brooks, Rick Founds, Chris Falson, Tommy Walker & more!!
