One of the big challenges (and there are a lot of them) in church planting is music.  Who is going to do it?  What is it going to sound like?  What style is the music going to be?  Do you do hymns?  Do you do new stuff?  Do you have musicians?  What do you need for equipment? How do you pay for it? The list goes on.

A while back I came into contact with a guy in Lincoln who is interested being a part of 2 Pillars and also has some musical skill.  In order to start exploring whether God has aligned us on music, I created a CD and sent it up to him.  He’ll now listen to the CD, read the notes I sent along for each song, and then respond with his own notes and take.  In this way, we can begin to explore if we’re on the same page.  Below is the list of songs I sent him and provides a flavor of the direction of 2 Pillars in regards to music.
