In the Music Ministry, there are indeed various trends of worship through music that emerged

but still struggles at this time of pandemic. Churches find difficulty to lead their congregation into singing

in an online platform. In his article “Facilitating Deep Friendships Digitally when Analog Acquaintances

Are Gone”, Zach W Lambert (2020) stated that “… our worship through music is amazing, but it isn’t

unique” as he points out that the connection as a church is far more important than the content that

they produce.

According to Albert Bogle (2020) “The present crisis is an excellent opportunity for the church to

begin to reach out to the creatives in this area. This will be for many a missional opportunity, as they

start to include those on the edge of faith, the artists, the musicians, the techies, the honest inquirers,

those who are not far from the Kingdom of God. These are the people we need to invite to help us begin

to understand the specific nuances of various media and also how to promote and develop and shape

the Gospel of Jesus in the 21st century.” Some church struggles in the shifting from the regular face-to-

face worship gathering to an online worship service. In her article “What Religious Groups Need to

Consider when Trying to do Church Online0”, Heidi A. Campbell (2020) have observed In one Anglican,

one evangelical, and one Nazarene online church service, the church leaders appears to use the shift to

online as an opportunity to rethink the essence of the church—what do members need—and

transforming their worship services accordingly. Campbell (2020) said that here, the standard “praise

and worship sandwich”—joyful praise songs followed by an emotional sermon and then reflective

worship music—was abandoned for more of a “fireside chat model.”
