Message From The Dean of Studies

In January, 2004, an historic event took place. THE SCHOOL OF CHURCH MUSIC opened its administration office at 101 Bull Street, Second Floor, Room 202, Savannah, Georgia.

THE SCHOOL OF CHURCH MUSIC is in need of your support.

Musicians who are qualified and trained in church music are quickly becoming a non-emphasis in colleges across the country. An urgent call has been heard by those concerned about future generations of church musicians and something is being done about it in Savannah, Georgia.

The School of Church Music was founded to educate qualified students from a wide variety of religious backgrounds. Its goal is to provide a Biblical foundation and Church music ministry skills that apply to denominational preferences and “Keeping Church Music Sacred.”

There is no other private school in the country with such a vision.

Interest from the clergy and members of Methodist, Baptist, Nazarene, Episcopal, Presbyterian, just to name a few denominations, have expressed interest and support for The School of Church Music.

By maintaining a private school status, the curriculum is not biased toward any denomination but rather seeks input and guidance from all clergy and religious leaders to provide training to students based on denominational preferences.

Clergy from various denominations are sought out to teach denominational doctrines. Courses in Liturgy and Bible are primary goals, along with Church Music History, Church Music Musicianship, Church Music Ministry and other concentrated studies. Instruction on instruments and choral directorship training are essential concentrations.

The School of Church Music seeks to assist churches who cannot afford a full time musician by training Music Missionaries and providing them with assistance financially and in other means such as transportation and housing.

The vision of The School of Church Music can be a reality with your help and assistance. For more information about the school and how you can help, go to: www.schoolofchurchmusic.org or email: scm@schoolofchurchmusic.org. (912) 236-1466
