Welcome to the Music and Worship Page of the CCDA. We who direct choirs in worship have specific kinds of joys and challenges, and this page is meant to be a hub of idea-sharing, problem-solving, and mutual support. I have started with a list of links that relate to our field and welcome input about additional content. Variables for choral music in worship, such as denomination, liturgical restrictions, size of budget and choir, are complex and yet crucial in determining how to best direct people to helpful resources. If you are new in this field, I invite you send me an email so I can work to connect you to some helpful mentors and resources specific to your needs.
