Every Sunday morning, millions of believers gather and sing. The music unites us, lifts us, and delivers our hearts to God. We leave behind our ordinary speech and embrace a unique language of worship. Or, at least, that's how it should be. More and more, the modern church is finding its pews filled with those who are just watching, or only mouthing along. Those who have not been raised to sing are left out as mere spectators rather than participants.
The secret to a great music ministry, Steven Elzinga reveals, lies in reaching these spectators. Success must be judged not by the quality of the musicians or the size of the crowd they draw, but by how many attenders are making music part of their daily life with God. This is a practical book filled with step-by-step ideas that you can implement -- whether you are a pastor, a worship leader, part of the worship team, or a lay member of your church.
