Benefits of Membership
While we strongly encourage members to be active professionally in the field of composition, CFAMC is different from many professional composer societies, in that its primary focus is not on providing monetary grants, recording projects, concert performances, music publishing services, and other career support activities. Instead, we attempt to foster the integration of compositional and spiritual growth through meaningful Christian fellowship among our members. The benefits accruing to members from such an approach may be summarized as follows:
- Opportunity to share the joys and challenges of being a Christian art music composer with like-minded individuals through various forms of communication as well as live events;
- The opportunity to support and be identified with a visible, established Christian ministry at work in the field of art music composition;
- Confidence stemming from evidence that God is at work in our field;
- Ancillary benefits resulting from professional and personal networking among CFAMC members;
And, for those participating in our network of fellowship groups:
- Professional and spiritual attention from other CFAMC members;
- The opportunity to serve other members by providing professional and spiritual attention to their work and witness.
