The Importance Of A Financially Stable Music Department

There are many financially stable music departments. They are supported by financially stable churches that not only realize the importance of the music department in worship but are willing to give the music department the necessary means to produce top shelf music worship. There are many churches like this but it sad to say that there are many many more churches that don't either have the means or the officials of the church don't have the insight or desire to see the need for equipping the music department with what it needs. The old adage 'you pay for what you get' applies in a lot of these situations. Sure they say they want a vibrant music department but are they truly doing what is needed to produce one. There are pastors who are phenomenal preachers and even they realize that a good music department enhances service and sets the atmosphere before he/she gets up to deliver the preached word. Let's be honest most worshippers want to hear good music and there are some people that come to church just to hear the choir. If you checked one of my earlier blogs I talked about how important music was to the ancient church. Times and music have changed but not the significance of music in the church. With proper financial support music departments can have quality musicians, do quality music, have quality concerts and workshops and more that anything take worship service to a higher level.
