Abstract

This project focuses on the members who participate in the music ministry of the Rivermont Baptist Church in Lynchburg, Virginia. An observable shift from worship to entertainment in the music ministry of the church led to the implementation of a series of workshops and seminars targeting a test group of musicians and singers, who were then educated in the history and development of the African-American Spiritual and Gospel music worship traditions. The effect was to empower the group members to apprehend their responsibility as ministers and to distinguish between religious entertainment and authentic worship as it manifests in the church.
