Don't take life so serious
You're willing to laugh at yourself. We all do funny, hilariously things. Having played the piano and organ for hundreds of weddings and funerals over the past 50+ years, I decided to write my own eulogy, containing over 30 of the funniest things I have done and said.
Any minister who has a great sense of humor, has my vote!

Church Musicians - How to Hire Great Candidates, Dr. Arthur George Scott, Musician
I have a friend who won the Grammy Music Educator of the Year, chosen from 3,300 nominees in the past few years, out of 50 states.
We were sharing openly about church music and the sadness surrounding how so many pastors have no clue about the importance of music in worship, much less how to hire effective, qualified musicians who know what they are doing.
To quote a great church leader who is now preaching in Heaven,
"Everything rises and falls on leadership."
I agree.
Here are some great thoughts and aspirations for all churches to consider;
10 Reasons Churches Need Effective, Well-Trained Musicians
Music is pivotal in worship services, enhancing the spiritual experience and creating a welcoming atmosphere. Hiring compelling, well-trained musicians can significantly contribute to the success of a church's worship ministry. Here are ten reasons why:
Enhanced Worship Experience: Skilled musicians can elevate the worship experience by providing high-quality musical accompaniment that complements the sermon and enhances the congregation's connection with God.
Attracting and Retaining Members: A strong music program can attract new members and help retain existing ones. People are drawn to churches with inspiring music.
Strengthening Community: Music can foster community and unity within the church. Shared musical experiences can deepen bonds between members.
Effective Communication of the Gospel: Music can be a powerful tool for communicating the Gospel message. Well-trained musicians can interpret and express the spiritual content of hymns and songs effectively.
Professionalism and Credibility: Hiring professional musicians demonstrates a commitment to excellence and can enhance the church's reputation.
Versatility and Adaptability: Skilled musicians can adapt to different musical styles and genres, ensuring that the worship music remains relevant and engaging.
Mentorship and Training: Experienced musicians can mentor and train younger musicians, ensuring a sustainable music program for the future.
Leading Worship: Effective musicians can lead worship services, creating a dynamic and inspiring atmosphere.
Inspiring and Motivating: Music can inspire and motivate the congregation, encouraging them to deepen their faith and involvement in the church.
Honoring God: Music is a form of worship that honors God. Hiring talented musicians demonstrates a commitment to offering the best possible worship experience.

this site intends to support churches pastors & members
This site is designed to help anyone find a church home. Please review area churches in the blogs
Finding a good fit takes time and discernment.
What to look for in a Church Home
Friendliness, warmth, and caring people willing to help you in your journey.
Young people who can relate to your children and family.
Sunday school teachers who are dedicated and have their student's best interests at heart.
Ministers and lay people with a servant's heart.
Do they have a ministry for Children including Special Needs?
Children need to feel like they belong and Sunday School and other ministries make a huge difference in the lives of children and teenagers.
Does the website offer information which is useful to you and your family?
I am amazed at how many churches fail to mention that they have a music program. Do they offer organized sports and activities that your your kids will resonate with?
Are their concerts and other events?
Artist series, music, art, and dance should be a part of every church.
Everything rises and falls on LEADERSHIP
Trust and rapport are extremely important. Do you sense love, acceptance and sincerity with ministers and support staff?

Autism and Special Needs
Many organizations must evaluate how they embrace children and teens diagnosed with Autism and others. Very few churches, synagogues, mosques, and other religious organizations have a space for these precious young people. Arthur George Scott, PsyD, has a passion for all children. Every child should be able to express their feelings, thoughts, and emotions through Fine Arts, including Music, Art, and Dance. The curriculum is available for all organizations interested in developing an ongoing program for Special Needs / Autistic children whose diagnosis limits their life experience. We can all help these children reach higher and unexplored creative goals. www.pianobyartscott.com 949.454.1221 Mr. Art Scott has resided in Southern California since 1981.
Dr. Scott is grateful to many musicians and counselors who have shaped and modeled his career.
