Jeff Rakes, Pastor of Worship and Administration at Grace Church PCA in Delaware, has hired musicians to bring more of the gospel style to his church.  He explained that their organ player lived in a small apartment, but he had just bought a Hammond B3 Organ.  There wasn’t really any space to store it in his apartment so, he approached Grace Church about keeping it there. 

Soon after that the decision was made to hire to him to play organ.  Jeff says that the Hammond B3 Organ helps make almost anything sound gospel.  

Basically, the point I want to make today is that you can use music tracks, the people in your congregation, or hiring musicians.  You should use all the resources you have available to you to help people experience multicultural worship.  

Sometimes it means swallowing your pride to use a resource you’ve previously rejected, like I did with using music tracks, but it’s really not about you.  It’s about worshipping God.     

Has your church hired musicians? How do you think this decision has affected visitors coming to your church?
