They must be paid! Failure to pay them is a crime against God and man. Only greedy pastors do not see reason in paying them. |

genaro2000: No they don't, it is a thing of joy to be handling the instruments and expressing yourself. |

This is one of the reason Christianity is becoming a joke. If you are being paid to praise your God, then something must be wrong with your soul. The excuse that "they pay to learn it" or "is there only means of livelihood" is just morally wrong if your conscience is not faulty. Well, is not really surprising considering the fact that some people even pay gate fee to enter the church. I cant even trust any pastors that indulge in such abnormalities. Why not make the payment go round by paying the choir, ushers, even the church members too. #radarada# 4 Likes |

Armstrong34: After going to school to study law, you become a lawyer right? After graduating from music school, you should become a musician? So you're expected to open your own studio and start music production. Davido and co are making it big time out there. Be looking for who will pay you, before you serve God. 2 Likes |

Hiploko: Op if I may ask, are choir instrumentalists the only skilled/semi_skilled workers in a church setting? No. Other career workers in church, who are not pastors, like accounts-clerk, compound cleaners, drivers, sextons, electricians/media technicians, etc, are all paid to function in their roles. Therefore designated and devoted church organist/instrumentalists should be in the pay role as well or a well taught-out welfare package (not necessarily money) be put in place for them. |

Encourage them to keep contributing their vocal cords. If you don't, they find something else doing, and miss church. That affects their performance, and hence the need for them. They are also ministers; you can't pay pastors and leave them out |

C.A.C AND THE APOSTOLIC CHURCH WILL NEVER PAY THEIR INSTRUMENTALIST BECAUSE THESE CHURCHES DON'T CHERISH THEIR INSTRUMENTALISTS |
Re: Of Church Instrumentalists And Payments by bomasek(m): 11:25am On Jun 24, 2018 |
In ESOCS,they are not paid a dime,it's even competitive for them to play on Sundays thus this leads to squabbles over play time on Sundays sometimes, so if one leaves on that account(not getting paid), there are two on standby to take over from him/her |

Bobby4090: Well said. I think its Ok that they be supported in terms of welfare, I mean for those who are struggling; just to encourage them. It shouldn't be a payment for services rendered, as whatever you do, u do for the Lord and shouldn't be paid for serving God. Not only musicians though, all those serving the Lord who are in distress should be encouraged by the church and its members. Its not easy serving God when finance is low, temptations build up. |

My opinion. It's best to get them a good job based on their qualification. Then, let them decide either to come and worship their Creator. |
Re: Of Church Instrumentalists And Payments by ijaola(m): 11:43am On Jun 24, 2018 |
I don't see anything wrong here. I play the keyboard in my church, no money and not interested in the money. Am no a pro. But imagine someone who study music in school, can play any musical note by sight reading and play the full part, someone that can coach young choir in voices and how to sing, groom them, teach them how to sing to part, it a whole lot of work. They should be pay. I have come across someone who does it for free. Very good on the pipe but he has other job. I went to school and study, working now and making ends meet. So also those that study music in school should make money. Have you seen a cathedral choir before, you would know that the organist are working |

lexy2014: It would mean you'd have to pay every church worker to be fair. Prayer warriors, Ushers, Deacons, Choristers.... |
Re: Of Church Instrumentalists And Payments by vonlogon: 11:55am On Jun 24, 2018 |
I am a man of God, we pay everyone that works in the church, even if its feeding and transport allowance, the fact that they are there at the expense of other things they have to do, makes them worthy of the payment. |
Re: Of Church Instrumentalists And Payments by mcstan18(m): 12:05pm On Jun 24, 2018 |
Some volunteer to do it, no problems. But for those that eke a living with it, the church should pay for such services. How then is the brother/sister expected to pay tithe? Besides, who says being an instrumentalist was a free gift?. It's usually a result of diligence and hardwork |
Re: Of Church Instrumentalists And Payments by davekata: 12:20pm On Jun 24, 2018 |
Pavore9: Nwanne you can't compare a catholic instrumentalist with a contemporary instrumentalist. I just need dedication to learn how to play in a catholic church. But I need more than dedication to play comtemporarily. I spend money. Imagine buying a cd tutorial of just one technique for almost 3k and I'll be needing about 15 for a start. Money to fuel generator nko, and transport to uninvited rehearsal, all for the sake of improving? I believe the mindset one adopts matters; for service or business. |

Pavore9: Ehhhnn but you pay the priest bah? Receive sense |
Re: Of Church Instrumentalists And Payments by sucre: 12:54pm On Jun 24, 2018 |
My people according to the bible singers/instrumentalist and probably other workers(porters)eat from the tithe.I.e should be paid wages, "And he had prepared for him a great chamber, where aforetime they laid the meat offerings, the frankincense, and the vessels, and the tithes of the corn, the new wine, and the oil, which was commanded to be given to the Levites, and the singers, and the porters; and the offerings of the priests. Nehemiah 13:5 down |

Re: Of Church Instrumentalists And Payments by delishpot: 1:16pm On Jun 24, 2018 |
Hiploko: Depending on who they are. If they are hired by the church then it is a business deal, if they are member or outside volunteer then they will not demand for pay. |
Re: Of Church Instrumentalists And Payments by obowunmi(m): 1:32pm On Jun 24, 2018 |
INDUSTRIALFAN: A pastor is a church manager, and instrumentalist isnt. Who leads the church if pastor doesn't ? |
