About Heartfelt Music & Ministry
Heart to heart and person to person, Heartfelt Music Ministry touches lives for Christ in a unique way. This exciting ministry has a high spiritual impact, drawing many to a closer relationship with God and developing healthy worship practices, skillful and faithful musicians, and loving relationships throughout the Body of Christ. Our goal and Mission Statement is to lead others toward intimacy with God and excellence in artistry through quality worship leading, concert artistry, training/coaching, and motivational speaking. In a nutshell, we exist to support, encourage and equip the Body of Christ.
In 1984, this ministry started as Heartfelt Music & Creations. Then in 1998, we became a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization and changed the name to Heartfelt Music & Ministry, Inc. (AKA Heartfelt Music Ministry; Heartfelt Music Academy; or simply Heartfelt Music®). Through quality music and teaching, we are here to serve you and enhance your ministry. Please, let us know what we can do to help.

Joining the Support Team
PRAYER SUPPORT: With the many aspects of such a diverse ministry as this, we need help in a variety of areas: administration, promotion, data entry, volunteer help, etc. But the most significant way you can help is through prayer. We need lots of prayer! We know activities are hollow unless they are filled-out with God’s Spirit. We would really appreciate your support through regular prayer.
FINANCIAL SUPPORT to Heartfelt Music Ministry is a wise investment. Our mission of “leading others toward intimacy with God” is the thrust of God’s heart. This gives us our compelling vision to use quality music, worship leading, training, and motivational speaking to encourage, inspire, and equip each person to draw closer to God. The effective use of your donation causes timely productivity in bringing this vision to fruition. Please consider a one-time gift or regular contribution to Heartfelt Music Ministry which is tax-deductible. As Paul said to the Philippians I say to you, “I thank my God for you all, in view of your participation in the gospel from the first day until now (Phil 1:3 & 5).” Thank you for considering investing financially. See “How to Make a Donation” below.
We would be honored and so grateful for you to choose us as your ministry/missions organization in giving regular financial support. Since we are a nonprofit 501(c)3 ministry, your tax-deductable gifts propel this ministry and open doors for international support of other missions organizations (as we’ve been involved with Mexico, Russia, Albania, Canada, and the Netherlands). We’ve been asked to be involved oversees, but most organizations are unable to pay anything (one example is Mexico Outreach through Azusa Pacific University). Thank you for your timely consideration. If you have any questions, email us at [email protected]. See “How to Make a Donation” below.
