CHURCHES SHOULD INVEST MORE IN MUSIC – KAYODE OLUSOJI

May 23, 2014

If I have the opportunity to address the Church on Church Music; I will advise the church to invest & improve more in the following areas:

1. Good Sound System & Musical Instruments in all churches.

2. Well trained musicians & singers. The church should continually train the musicians and singers.

David was the one who instituted the first choir, made up of 4000 members. Out of them, we have 288 skillful musicians who were training others. So training should be part of the church music.

Every organization that wants to grow do not joke with its training arm. Same thing goes for the church work force especially in the music department.

3. Every church should hire a professional Sound Engineer. This is lacking in many churches.

4. While constructing the church building, the sound should be part of the plan. A good Sound Engineer should advise on this.

5. Record label: Can all church think in this direction & have a good Record Label where all good artists in the church can be engaged. Some denominations are doing this already, others can do same too.

6. Distribution Network: Church branches can be used as a distribution network for musical albums. This is a good medium to propagate the gospel, because music is a very powerful tool.

7. Establishing Music schools or music training arms in churches. There should be a succession plan for music in the church by encouraging the children, teenagers and adults in the church who are musically inclined to attend such music school. Let’s start grooming them right from a tender age so that the church can continue to dish out good and quality music to God.

8. Good welfare package for those who are into music ministry and more support for musical concert, music production & promotion.

9. Let the church teach & discourage the members from supporting worldly music.
…and more.
