Congregations are the ultimate beneficiaries of the Church Music Institute offerings: worship is the work of the people. CMI wants anyone attending church to experience excellent worship. Congregations ultimately shape the quality of their worship by acquiring the best leaders and resources for the fullest expression the congregation can offer.  Engaged congregations inform themselves about best worship and music practices, assess their own resources, and discern how to use them. These congregations learn how to make wise decisions about worship and music, knowing those decisions will impact the long-term spiritual health of the congregation.   CMI offers seminary classes, online and on-site curated library resources, personal consultation, festivals, and workshops in which members of congregations can participate.  Discounted fees are offered for multiple persons from the same church to attend CMI activities.  Members of congregations who care for excellence of music and worship are among CMI’s generous donors who support and guide its work.
