Thank you for your interest in the AAM Mentoring Program.

Mission Statement
The mission of the AAM Mentoring Program is to identify and support the young professional or less-experienced church musician who seeks enrichment by establishing a mentoring relationship with a seasoned and experienced colleague.

Theological Statement
“…but be filled with the Spirit, as you sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs among yourselves, singing and making melody to the Lord in your hearts, giving thanks to God at all times and for everything in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.” – Ephesians
Scripture bids us to be a singing people who offer prayers of thanks for the many blessings we receive. The musicians called to the holy vocation of leading the Church’s song are those who help our congregations raise their corporate praises and songs of faith. Through the AAM Mentoring Program, young professional and less-experienced church musicians receive support, encouragement, and guidance, to strengthen their confidence and equip them with valuable skills to do their important work. The gifts that these musicians make use of in their vocation are gifts that God has freely bestowed. The Church then becomes stewards of these gifts by supporting these musicians in their service to God and God’s people.
