As you make your New Year’s resolutions, may I ask you to remember your church music program? You can still make your annual determinations to exercise and get organized, but perhaps at the start of a new year it’s a good time to examine what your music program is doing and reevaluate?
In my music program, does my philosophy of music and worship intersect with reality?
Are my musical and textual choices appropriately reflective of God’s character?
What sort of ruts am I in that are hindering the effectiveness of my ministry?
Is my personal relationship with God apparent, so that I am truly living what I’m trying to teach?
What sort of plan am I following to maximize my own and others’ musical ministry?
What sort of goals do I want my program to attain this year (bigger is not necessarily better)?
What sort of changes do I need to make to reach these goals?
After brainstorming through these questions, write down your goals and post them somewhere where you will see them frequently. Better yet, share them in a comment on this forum. They will serve to be an encouragement and to provoke thought among your fellow pastors and music directors. May this year be, by the grace of God, a year of growth, both spiritually and musically.
Happy New Year!
