Amen, Daryl! I love your approach at rephrasing the question, looking at what the Bible says and breaking your answer down thoughtfully. Lord richly bless you.

As an MD I think this churches need to come with the philosophy of Paid and Volunteers. Both can exist but someone has to take the lead at the end of the year show appreciation to volunteers in the ministry.

I have a question... what about the idea of discounting the tithe you pay.... for example if I would normally change $60/hr and than play 40 min of worship set every Sunday and $120 would be my normal tithe... pay the church $80 every week ($120-$40)...

[davidjemison]

This is going to come down with Skill level, demand, dedication, availability, geo demographic area, size of church and vetting the best person for the job.

If you don't work you don't eat. Ministry is not working it's serving God

[leannbarker]

Question... if you feel you have the professional skill set... what about the idea of counting your service toward your tithe... in other words take the regular tithe and subtract would charge for doing a set and pay that amount for your tithe instead...

Im a beginner musician been playing for 5 years with no salary or compensation. I dont care about making money from the church I care about being faithful and serving God wholeheartedly. Now im expected to play Tuesday and Thursday Night Service, 2 more on Sunday and rehearsal on Wednesday not mention the practice of getting better daily and work 60+ hours a week. It depends on the church and the finances

[Vision.Target.Shoot]

Also it's about winning souls and if no one gets paid it shows your heart and will to serve God

[Vision.Target.Shoot]

This doesn't mean money

*[[1Ti **5:17**]] KJV* Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in the word and doctrine.

1 Corinthians 9

16  For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of: for necessity is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel!
 17  For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward: but if against my will, a dispensation of the gospel is committed unto me.
 18  What is my reward then? Verily that, when I preach the gospel, I may make the gospel of Christ WITHOUT CHARGE, that I abuse not my power in the gospel.

Church music directors get paid and also the rest of the band should get paid and the vocalists not fair for their countless hours of practice and time away from their families at home there is no respect for them just bussiness as usual just a cut throat bussiness don’t forget they have feelings too and they are humans not animals

[jgunther]

if you can find a musician who plays something besides drums or electric guitar, definitely pay him. rock music in church is the worst of church music and the worst of rock music combined

This scripture speaks against pay for hire

*[[Mic **3:11**]] KJV* The heads thereof judge for reward, and the priests thereof teach for hire, and the prophets thereof divine for money: yet will they lean upon the LORD, and say, Is not the LORD among us? none evil can come upon us.

Levites had their needs met but did not have a salary

[frederickhunter]

Absolutely not.why does God have to pay somebody to play music?read amos5:23 in the bible most of these musicians have no spiritual interest in worship.that why it's a difference between a servant an a musician they should be call servants if they were for real.they make it clear just what are, they don't participate in paying tithes and offerings just watch them they won't even move out of their seats they act like pimps, Jesus don't need these hustlers he could have the rocks praise him if he wants to, david in the bible was a chief musician, and he never took a time, get bums out the church, the church is not a hustling outlet
