Many Presbyterian ministers claim that music has a profound impact on theological formation among laity, and that laity do not pay attention to the words they are singing and do not comprehend why a hymn has been chosen on a given Sunday. This dissertation proposes that pastors conscientiously plan and present corporate music accessing insights from educational theory. Pastors in three churches of different sizes and demographics in the San Francisco Presbytery were interviewed. Hundreds of pastors and educators from Canada and the United States were interviewed in groups. Literature was reviewed in the fields of the theology of music; educational theory; music the Reformed tradition, and current socio-cultural trends. Finding ways to ease the fear of change can help people be more receptive to learning. Provide information in a variety of ways. Involve people in the interpretive process. Integrate the programs of the church, namely worship, Christian education, and music leadership.
