Welcome to the website of the Center for Church Music. We pray that our site will be helpful to you! On September 9, 2020, we celebrated the seventeenth anniversary of the site. We are a small organization, but we hope that you'll be blessed by our offerings on our website. We want "www.songsandhymns.org" to be an integral part of your day--and bring great glory to God.
The philosophy at the Center is simple: We believe that music, and in particular, singing, is a very important human activity. The latest scientific findings support what Scripture and 2,000 years of church history have revealed: music, intelligence, and learning are significantly related. That is, singing materially affects our actions.
Therefore, singing's role in church music is vital to the health of the church. (See Ephesians 3:18, 19; Colossians 3:16) What we sing is important! Through an attractive and winsome presentation, we believe that hymns (and Psalms) can again become a centerpiece of a stategy to empower and encourage Christians.
In addition to songs and hymns, we eventually will have an extensive area devoted to church music. Across this country, there are many terrific musicians ministering every Sunday. Utilizing this site as a catalyst for dialogue, we want to again bring great music and great musicians together for the cause of Christ and His church.
Thank you for visiting our site. We pray that God will bless our efforts and that the church--and you!--will be different because of our efforts.
