Music in the Church

Music in the Church

Crawford chats with guest Craig Fritchey about the highly controversial and divisive subject of music in the church. They deal with questions such as... 

  • Should we sing only hymns or contemporary songs as well? 
  • Should instruments be used in the corporate worship of the church? 
  • How can we unify the church in music instead of continuing the division that exists in many churches? 

Craig's bio: Craig was raised in a Christian home in South Florida and saved at age five. He joined Christian Missions in Many Lands (CMML) as their full-time conference coordinator in January 2013. Craig and his wife Daniela fellowship at Fifth Avenue Chapel in Belmar, New Jersey and seek to build up and unify the Body of Christ through preaching, Bible studies, music ministry, youth work, conferences, missions awareness and connecting believers who can work well together for the Glory of God. 

CMML's conference vision: The goal of the conference ministry is to revitalize missionary interest and involvement in North America, renew and strengthen relationships between New Testament assemblies and CMML, and present the missionary call to the next generation.
