Dealing with commitment issues among music ministers in the church.

-->
The issue of commitment among music ministers has been one that has effected the effectiveness and productivity of worship services and personal ministries. Irresponsibility is usually a product of poor commitment to a cause.  Many music ministries have to deal with music ministers that have lukewarm attitudes, some just seem not to be willing to serve.

Reasons for poor commitment may include.

1 Too much engagements- Most music ministers sometimes find it difficult to turn down invitations that interfere with their present place of assignment.
2 A feeling of being despised- When a person's potential is not fully utilized, they feel they are not needed.
3 Inadequate understanding of one’s calling- God’s calling often comes with clarity. A poor understanding of what God desires from us often makes people feel they are being disturbed.

How to handle poor commitments among music ministers.

1 Engaging in personal discussions often help to  know individuals..
2 Musical exercises should be organized to know the strength of individual music ministers in a team or choir.
3 A good working environment should be created by making sure the musicians have all the necessary tools they need.
4 Workshops and seminars can be organized to teach stewardship. Some ministers might just not know what to do.
