"Next to the Word of God, the noble art of music is the greatest treasure in the world."

Martin Luther

To Whom It May Concern:

I am seeking a vibrant, growing Church environment where I can fully utilize my gifts including music, Internet marketing and church growth.  I am available to substitute / intern / part time opportunities.


This would include various forms of music chosen to enhance the minister's spoken word and support the overall message of the gospel. I am also skilled in marketing and Internet / website design and can assist a church to grow in attendance and giving.

I believe Music is powerful and greatly assists in healing and encouraging people's lives, both with young people through senior citizens.

I look forward to meeting your committee and church body in person. I am looking a church I can call my home as well.

Sincerely, Art Scott
