Musician • Center of Attention or Servant?

Applause from a congregation for musicians, or musicians that impede congregational singing for the sake of personal artistry, are but symptoms.

Corpus Christi Watershed is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization recognized by the state of Texas on 19 October 2006. Our statement of purpose notes that we “employ the creative media in service of theology, the Church, and Christian culture for the enrichment and enjoyment of the public.”
