the m.a.c. story

m.a.c. was born out of need. Travelling the southeastern United States during the 90s, singing Southern Gospel music in many churches of different sizes and denominations, I noticed something. To my surprise, many of these churches were conducting their worship services entirely without music. Why? The answer was the same in church after church – they could not find or keep a piano player.

This really grieved me, because as a fourteen year old boy, it was music that drew me into a church, and was the vehicle God used to bring me to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. I guess that's why God gave me a passion to fill this need in for churches.

I tried to think of a way that recorded music could be used in church worship. Some churches were already using CDs and taped accompaniment. Neither is user-friendly and both often result in errors that are disruptive. There just had to be a better way.

On several occasions I discussed this problem with my friends. One evening a friend said to me “You have been talking about this for three or four years, now. What are you going to do about it?” It was at that moment that God convicted my heart that it was time to start doing something. That night I had a dream and in that dream God said “I gave you a job and I'll show you what to do.”

I shared these thoughts with my Human Resources Director who was also a dear friend. Arrangements were made in October 2004 for me to leave a 40-year career in the packaging industry to launch the full-time ministry that I call Church Music Company.

After 6 months of planning and recording, the first installation was made in March of 2005. Today, m.a.c. is enhancing worship services in 14 states. As Fanny Crosby would say, “To God be the glory, great things He has done.”
