Book Synopsis

This volume in the Effective Church Series is a primer in musical ministry; it clearly describes ten goals of music ministries for any congregation. This book convinces church leaders of the importance of reviewing your musical worship style (roughly 40 % of most congregations' worship time is set to music), plus how to present different worship styles to keep the interest of pre-baby-boomer adults as well as younger adults. Discusses budgeting and purchasing sound-system components, developing musical leadership roles beyond "choral director," and guidance for special pageants or youth promotional tours.
