In my 30-something years of ministry through music, I have witnessed and/or participated in some significant changes in music for the church. Going through all these semi-revolutions, there has been one constant - the choir. Whether that choir was the adult choir of Handel’s “Messiah”or of Peterson’s“No Greater Love;” or the youth choir of “Celebrate Life” or “Tell It Like It Is,” or the combined choirs of “Alleluia” or “God With Us,” the choir has been a focal point of the church’s traditional music ministry. But the role of the choir today is up for re-xamination. Does the choir model fit the worship model of the new millennium? And if it does, what changes should we be prepared to make? In the past several years, the Lord has taken me though a journey of discovery. At times kicking and screaming against previously held assumptions. God showed me how to enable my choir to have a much stronger impact than I had ever dreamed it could. At the core of this change was the necessary move to view my choir not as a performing group,but as a worshiping one. Now, my fondest hope is to share these revelations with you, my fellow minister of music.
