Why This Course Was Created

This course was created to help address the continuing need for trained organists in the Church. Its purpose is to provide a practical and structured approach to organ training that can be used and referred to by individual learners, organ mentors, church leaders, and stake organ training programs. Through sacred music, organists can help others strengthen their faith in Jesus Christ, support meaningful worship, and encourage enthusiastic congregational singing.
