REGI: Hi, I’m Regi Stone, creative director here at Discover Worship music. And I’m with my friend Vince Wilcox, our general manager.
Fifteen years ago, a volunteer choir director in a small rural church in Ohio wondered why finding great music for his congregation had to be so expensive, time-consuming and inconvenient.
VINCE: He realized his wasn’t the only small church facing this dilemma.
He did some research and discovered that—of the 300,000 churches in North America—more than half of them had 75 attendees or less! Like his church, most of them just didn’t have the budgets or staff that larger churches could afford.
And yet, he wondered, shouldn’t smaller congregations have great church music, too?
REGI: The good news was that--even though he was a volunteer choir director--he was also a smart businessman.
So he and his team set out to provide smaller churches with otherwise very limited resources unlimited access to thousands of great songs.
VINCE: He began building the most affordable, quickest, and easiest “total music solution” for smaller churches.
Discover Worship became America’s first all-online church music service.
This means that for one low annual price, members simply log in, search our vast library of songs, download a zip file with all the assets they need, and print all the copies they want.
REGI: Over the years, lots of larger churches have discovered our music and joined. But if you’re a smaller church with limited resources, Discover Worship is still all about you. That’s why our motto is “You lead. We’ll help.”
VINCE: So whether you work in a small, under-resourced church in the middle of nowhere or are an overwhelmed mega-church music minister in a metropolitan area . . . You’re the hero of our story.
Our “sweet spot,” as they say, is SATB and worship choir arrangements, along with a number of “Easy to Learn/Fun to Sing” arrangements for 2 and 3-part choirs.
We offer anthems from more than 150 arrangers like Dennis Allen, Dave Williamson, Russell Mauldin, Bradley Knight, Jim Hammerly, Tom Fettke, and our own Luke Woodard.
REGI: That said, you’ll also find some amazing sacred works, black gospel, Southern gospel, modern worship and a cappella sprinkled in our library for good measure… not to mention pieces for solos and ensembles.
We also have more than 150 instrumentals and 200 children’s pieces—in addition to 50 musicals and mini-musicals…and more than 170 different orchestrated works.
VINCE: But we’re not for everyone... If you’re only using the top CCLI songs or only looking for the hottest modern worship songs...
REGI: We’re not for you.
VINCE: If you only need lyrics and chords for your praise band...
REGI: We’re probably not for you.
VINCE: We love you, but our company wasn’t designed for you.
REGI: Discover Worship music was built especially for smaller churches who use traditional to contemporary choir music and for congregations who want to blend some accessible modern worship songs into their worship services. If that’s you, we’d be honored to tell you more and answer any questions you might have.
VINCE: Can larger churches become members?
REGI: Only if they’ve EVER been a smaller church...
VINCE: I’ll take that as a yes! Call or visit Discoverworship.com for more information... Right now!
REGI: You Lead. We’ll help. Thanks for watching!
