Welcome
Ministry is like a Rubik's Cube. One square is communication, but other squares consist of performance, entertainment, humor, compassion, musical excellence, love for the audience, servant hood, etc. Teaching young ministers and musicians to hone their skills in each of these categories in order to make the puzzle pieces mesh will make for a more effective Gospel presentation. Students with the objective of ministering with the skills of entertainment and communications are more effective ambassadors for Christ.

I could talk for days about the lessons learned in Allison's training: "Be a servant," "learn your Bible," "love on your audience." But the lesson that rises above them all is, "communicate the Gospel." Allison teaches us to break through the invisible wall that often divides the performer from the audience. She encourages us not to sing to a 'crowd', but to sing to hearts and souls. Great songs, perfect pitch, and beautiful tones mean nothing if we're not using it all to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I completely recommend Allison's training to anyone seeking to build an honest, inspiring, life-changing music ministry.
