MINISTRY THROUGH MUSIC EDUCATION New Heart Christian School of Music
The New Heart Christian School of Music was established alongside New Heart Music Ministries in 1997 with the vision of equipping the saints to serve in music ministry. By God’s grace, the ministry of education has developed rapidly. We offer more than twenty different kinds of group classes and individual lessons each semester in our Houston office. Since its establishment, our music school has trained hundreds of brothers and sisters from local churches to use their gifts in worship ministry. Classes such as keyboard accompaniment, the making of a worship leader, worship team training, guitar, voice, and music theory, have equipped and encouraged many people to become involved in leading and serving in worship. For general music education, New Heart also offers private lessons in piano, violin, viola, cello, flute, voice, drums, and guitar to students of all ages. Through organizing student recitals and preparing students for different competitions, we see the fruit and value of ministry in the area of music education. In recent years, New Heart has extended the scope of music education to equip the next generation of musicians and worshipers by organizing string and worship camps for youth as well as music classes for children. We have also brought the concepts and skills regarding worship ministry to different cities and churches that we visited outside of our Houston establishment. By hosting worship seminars and worship team training, we continue to pass on a passion for God-centered worship to everyone we encounter. As a response to the growing needs in Chinese churches across the U.S., New Heart has also sent staff to various cities to provide intensive worship training since 2004. This two-year program has been successfully implemented and has benefited many who do not live in the Houston area. In 2005, New Heart established its second ministry center in Singapore. One of the important areas of focus also centers around ministry through music and worship education. Our goal is to train and develop God’s servants in worship ministry, and to share with them about how to use music as a tool to help others come to know God. In addition to offering classes in Singapore and Malaysia that were at one time only available in the Houston area, we have also designed new classes to meet the specific needs of local churches. As the awareness regarding the importance of worship ministry continues to rise among Chinese churches, we hope to see more brothers and sisters equipped with musical skills and a biblical perspective of worship so that they may lead people into God’s presence through music.
