Why Learn from the School of Hard Knocks if You Don’t Have To?
Living the dream—on the road with friends, serving God, performing the music you love. Ministering in a Christian band should be fun and exciting, but anyone who has ever tried it knows how quickly the dream can turn into a nightmare. Problems arise, friendships become strained, money is lost, and ministry is compromised. Fun and exciting are seldom words that describe shattered dreams.
It doesn’t have to be that way. The Christian Band Handbook can help you avoid the pitfalls that many Christian bands experience.
There is no getting around the fact that music ministry is hard work. Christian musicians do all the work of secular musicians while doing the work of the ministry. We must figure out how to survive financially, take care of our families, and keep ourselves spiritually strong while endeavoring to lead others closer to Jesus. Music ministry is not for the lazy or faint of heart. If you are willing to work diligently while keeping God as your first love, you can create an extraordinary music ministry. The Christian Band Handbook will help you unleash your greatest ministry potential.
The Christian Band Handbook is a reference tool you will use for years to come. Topics include:
● What it takes to turn your dreams and visions into reality
● How to define your ministry’s mission
● Finding and selecting the right people to be in the band
● How to choose and protect the band’s name
● The right (and legal) way to set up your music ministry
● The best way to get started in business
● How to get the equipment you need at the price you can afford
● Ways to get the most out of band practice
● How to protect and promote songs you write
● The very best way to create a Christian press kit
● How to book great gigs
● What it takes to get the band on the road
● What to expect and do at a performance
● How to pay for the ministry
● When and what to record
● How to make the most money from band merchandise
● Efficiently running your band’s website and social media
● Step by step marketing
● How to do an end of the year band evaluation
● A list of people the band pays—and why you do not need to hire most of them
● How to troubleshoot the toughest ministry stuff
