Presbybop Music invites you to become a partner in our new DVD project, �Jazz Belongs in Church.�

 

This new DVD will share our discoveries about lively music, congregational song, and creativity in service to the life of faith. While it focuses on jazz as one form of music, it will share basic principles that can extend to any genre of music. The DVD will be developed with a wide audience in mind. It will offer practical examples along with theological reflection on the power of music to transform a congregation, extend its reach, and deepen its spiritual vitality.


We want to create this DVD because there is no other resource like it. Together we will explore the spiritual power of creative music. We will hear from jazz musicians, church leaders, and choir directors as they talk about the possibilities and potential of jazz. With lots of footage of live music in numerous settings, we will show what happens when jazz enlivens the life of faith.
This will be a full length DVD suitable for adult classes, worship committees, study groups, and personal enrichment. A study guide will be included for those who wish to unpack its insights.


Can you help us make this possible? That is our invitation to you. Through this fiscal sponsorship program, you can make a tax deductible donation and become a partner in this project. As you can see on this Indie GoGo project page, we offer a variety of premiums to thank you for your support. There are support levels for every budget. Those at the Conversation Partner level will be invited to a special Q and A session that will appear on the film.
For a limited number of our most generous partners, we will name them as Associate Producers for the project and list them on the DVD.
