Why is Crescendo important?
"That feeling of knowing you aren't the only Christian in your band, orchestra, college, or other workplace is like a breath of fresh air. It is an encouragement that helps you re-equip your spiritual armor each day to fight the battle. Crescendo continually brings this excitement, belonging, comfort, and community to Christians who need it.
My hope is for our community to be reminded that the arts belong not to the devil and the world, but wholly to God and His people. Through Crescendo, God is actively restoring and reviving the music world for His glory! It is a joy to see this community grow and I am so grateful God has called me to this important ministry work."
