This strategy focuses on enhancing sustainable music leadership within the church by implementing structured training, providing comprehensive musical resources, and engaging with the community through outreach. The strategy outlines conducting workshops for choir directors and choristers, fostering skill improvement and mentorship. Regular meetings and quarterly workshops will address challenges and develop new skills, with an emphasis on modern music trends.
Comprehensive resources, including guidelines and handbooks, will be created to support both choir directors and choristers. These materials will be regularly updated and distributed in digital and print formats, ensuring accessibility. Community engagement is encouraged through music evangelism events and the formation of youth choirs, aiming to reach diverse groups and promote inclusiveness.
