 This is ABSOLUTELY the best worship music
site that I have seen to date! I am BLOWN
AWAY at the content that you guys offer on
your site, and at how useful the arrangements
are. What truly sets you guys apart is 1-
The different .mp3 resources that you offer
(particularly drum loops!) 2- The flexibility
of making all of the copies I need 3- The
Finale Charts included!!! 4- The helpful
descriptions/tips that you offer (i.e. the
pairing of, say, "O Come All Ye Faithful"
[rockin' chart btw!] and "Forever").
Thanks for making such a killer resource!
I wish like everything that I had made the
jump to you guys a year ago!

Thanks for all you're doing at Hymncharts.
I use your arrangements every week in our
services.

Thank you for the ministry you
provide. We
used your "Grateful Heart"
Thanksgiving
Service & the congregation
loved it!
Michael Sneeringer
Bible Fellowship Community Church
West Newton, PA
Just wanted to say a big "Thank
You"
for the Christmas Eve Service
Guide. We used
this at our church, and SO many
have come
to me and commented on what a
blessing it
was. The "flow" and
the "ease
of use" was perfect for
our small church!
The stereo tracks were beautifully
arranged,
yet very easy to use and follow,
without
requiring a lot of rehearsal
time.
Rebecca Crowe
Bethlehem UMC
Statesville, NC
We used your arrangement of "O Holy
Night" this past Sunday
with choir,
congregation, band, and fantastic
trumpeter.
In both of our morning services,
the congregation
sang with full voice, and it
was thrilling.
Thank you for your great work.
Gayle Gemeinhart
Englewood Christian Church
Jacksonville, FL
Although we tweaked your Christmas Service
Guide a little bit, we used the
majority
of your service plan, performing
all of the
music live - it really provided
a beautiful
and meaningful worship service
for almost
600 people who attended our church
that evening.
Ann Hanson
Director of Worship & Music
Ministries
Immanuel Church of the Nazarene
Lansdale, PA
I discovered your site a few weeks ago,
subscribed, and continue to be astounded.
I am blown away by the superb quality, style,
and wealth of material you provide. We are
just starting to implement your arrangements
but they are getting rave reviews. We have
a lead acoustic guitar & vocal (me),
a keyboard, and a praise team of 3 people.
You must have had our church in mind because
your music fits us perfectly - upbeat, blended
worship. The Worship Ideas and Worship Flow
tips so helpful too. Please keep it up. I
am recommending you to everyone I know. We
could not be happier. Thank you and thank
the Lord for equipping you to help the Church
through your gifts.
Tom Bielek
Chesapeake, VA
Your arrangements are so accessible, so easy
to play and sing. And the added parts for
C instruments, Bb instruments, synth strings,
etc., have made a huge difference. Using
a combination of only three instruments -
guitar, keys and drums - we've managed to
do some truly memorable and wonderful hymns.
Thank you for your website. It's well worth
the price of the subscription. Read the entire letter.
Bob Castelline
Prince of Peace Lutheran
Des Moines, IA
This HymnCharts subscription is the answer
to our prayers, literally. When I found your
site and saw the arrangements, I knew this
was absolutely what we'd been looking for.

Nancy Ramsden
Blissfield, MI
Thank you for your willingness - not only
to serve the Kingdom - but also to be so
willing to share what you do with others.
I regularly visit and enjoy your website
and have used several of your hymn arrangements
...and I thank you!
Ann Hanson
Immanuel Church of the Nazarene
Lansdale, PA
Just wanted to drop you all a
quick note
to say "thank you"
for your ministry
and all you mean to us worship
directors
& leaders out there. We purchased
the
"I Adore You" Christmas
Service
Guide and used it for our two
Christmas Eve
services and we received many
positive comments
and many were blessed. Thank
you again for
this wonderful resource.
Suzanne Kalish
First Baptist Church
Metuchen, NJ
Thank you for your ministry. I have been
using your HymnCharts for about nine months,
and with their addition I have noticed that
the tension in our congregation concerning
the "music war" has eased. Hymn
lovers are satisfied, those unfamiliar with
or antagonistic toward hymns are finding
an appreciation for them, the band is positive
about them, and the stress is removed from
my shoulders. Thank you for making these
charts available and for being so gracious
with the pricing and usage.
Shawn Amy
New Beginnings Church of God
Meadville, PA
We continue to hear great things about the
way your arrangements bridge the gap in our
struggle to "blend" church music.
Thanks for the many hours you spend helping
us out here in the trenches. Your efforts
make a great difference in all we do. May
God continue to be praised and glorified
through this music.
Elizabeth Roberts
Immanuel Baptist Church
Minot, ND
Thank you for all the work you
have done
to make church musicians look
so much better,
and provide music congregations
can embrace.
It is an inspired endeavor.
Lynnell Goacher
Blue Ridge Christian Church
Asheville, NC
I want to sing, "Have I told you lately
that I love you...!" Your Advent/Christmas
hymn arrangements have made this season (for
3 years now) so easy & wonderful! Actually,
we do some "Chapman" every week
of the year in our "8:55 Service."
Everyone here at First Pres. Greer enjoys
your arrangements, from the Praise Team band,
singers, & congregation. Thanks so much,
and keep them coming!
Wendi Arms
First Presbyterian Church
Greer, SC
These arrangements are great - we have a
worship band and don't usually include many
hymns, but since I've found this site I've
used at least one per week - great job!
Kent A. Drake
Woodford Community Christian Church
Versailles, KY
I want to thank you yet again for what you've
done with these hymns. They have completely
revitalized our worship program; attendance
for the worship has dramatically increased,
as opposed to most of the congregation wandering
in just in time to catch half of the last
song and the sermon. Now, nearly the whole
church shows up right on time, eager.
The last compliment we received is one that
I think you would enjoy: a couple who've
attended our church for several years came
late to the sanctuary doors and stopped,
confused. They told me later they assumed
another church was in there, and they'd somehow
not gotten the message we moved. Why? Because
the music sounded so "vital and alive."
Ruthanne Reid
Faith Community Church
San Clemente, CA
We continue to use many of your hymn arrangements
and our congregation really enjoys the fresh
approach to the original melodies. Also,
our praise team members love the professional
looking charts and the ease and flexibility
with which we can change things. You are
providing a great service to all denominations
who are looking for a better way to blend
worship styles. Thanks for all your hard
work and dedication.
Elizabeth Roberts
Immanuel Baptist Church
Minot, ND
We used your HymnCharts Christmas arrangements
almost exclusively this year and they were
a lot of fun. Normally you catch some gruff
from the guitarists and drummers around Christmastime
but these arrangements were very easy to
play yet sounded great, nice rock edge to
them.
Eric Anderson
Mount Hope Church
Grand Blanc, MI
Three weeks ago, my pastor gave me a 10-day
notice to put together the most contemporary
service we've ever done because we were having
a guest evangelist to preach. With local
high school graduation and Memorial Day approaching,
there was no time to practice any new worship
songs. I turned to HymnCharts.com for help.
Four of the seven songs (all of the hymns)
we used in worship were HymnCharts. Our pianist
was thrilled with the arrangements. The congregation
worshiped like never before! And there was
even the salvation of one retired Navy Seaman.
HymnCharts are becoming an important part
of our worship repertoire.
Jay Hodges
First Baptist Church
Lucedale, Mississippi
Thanks SO MUCH for this site!! This makes
it possible to use the hymns that my older
worshippers love while pleasing my younger
worshippers at the same time! Whew! What
a relief!!! Keep up the great work!
Sarah Herron
Wesley Chapel UMC
New Albany, IN
I have just become a GREAT fan of you and
your wonderful website. When I found your
site, it was like it was written about our
church and the problems we are having between
praise music and hymns! We have used at least
4 of your songs with great success!
Sue Jacob
Clough UM Church
Cincinnati, OH
Just wanted to say thanks for making hymns
sing-able and play-able. I used the free
promo "All Hail" for a long time
before I was in a position to subscribe to
the website. Now (not to sound like an info-mercial,
but) I really don't know what I'd do without
it.
We have 2 services (traditional and contemporary)
and I use the arrangements for both. My pianist
was a bit frustrated at first with so many
of the songs being in E (which I think is
only fair for all of the piano dominant songs
in Bb and F - yuck) but now she doesn't even
flinch. It's helped her skill level and refreshed
the hymns in her mind. In our contemporary
service last week I used the verses of "Jesus
Paid it all" and dropping the chorus
we used "Overflow" by Tomlin. It
made for a powerful moment at the end when
we finally sang the
Chorus of Jesus paid. Thanks for all that
you do.
Ray Jester
Sarasota Christian Church
Sarasota, FL
Just wanted to let you know that we've been
using hymncharts for almost two years now
and today we pulled out the stops with "For
the Beauty of the Earth" and plugged
in our brass group along with our worship
team....talk about incredible!!! Thanks for
a great arrangement!!
Gail Dapprich
University Baptist Church
Fort Worth, TX
I was planning on doing an arrangement that
I cooked up for Blessed Assurance this week...
that is... until I listened to your arrangement.
WOW. I scrapped mine and downloaded yours.
I can't wait to spring this version on our
folks tomorrow. If all of your arrangements
are like this one, I'm going to have lots
of FUN!!
Dave Hudgins
Driscoll Blvd Baptist Church
Spokane, WA
I LOVE using your HymnChart arrangements.
We are a fairly small church (250) with a
blended service with a contemporary focus.
Your charts have enabled me to continue with
our beloved hymns and blend them so beautifully
with the new praise pieces. The Christmas
season has never been so fun for me musically!
Thank you!!
Kim Berggren
Andover Christian Church
Andover, MN
We love your work!!! It has transformed our
service making it a smooth, beautiful and
worshipful service with hymns and choruses.
Mary Rice
First Baptist

I just found out about your site this morning,
became a member, and tried your hymns for
the first time. I am amazed, I actually started
clapping because this is so awesome. Thanks
for your work -- it is exactly what we need
here at our church!!!
Aaron Welch
Calvary Baptist Church

The hymncharts site is a real blessing. You
are doing a wonderful job. We use these arrangements
frequently and our congregation really enjoys
them. Thank you and keep up the good work!
Andy Lanham
Linton First Christian Church
Linton, IN
Our church has two services: more traditional
and more contemporary, and typically the
"more traditionals" have contempt
for the "loud, raucous, repetitive"
choruses used in the other service. We're
moving to one service for the summertime,
and last weekend we had our first combined
service. I used several HymnCharts.com arrangements,
along with a mix of contemporary music with
rave reviews. One in particular was "My
Savior's Love" - turns out to be the
old-timer's favorite, but the arrangement
you've created makes a beautiful sound with
updated chording that appealed to our high
schoolers too! I appreciate your ministry
so much!
Heidi Weesies
Westend Chrisitian Reformed Church
Grand Rapids, MI
I have used your arrangements in several
of our services, and they have worked very
well. This is a great website.
Daniel Forness
Spring Creek Church
Pewaukee, WI
Just a quick note to let you know how much
we appreciate the arrangements available
at HymnCharts. I subscribed in a panic right
before Easter looking for some contemporary
arrangements for our Good Friday Service.
We've used one of your arrangements every
week since then.
Randy Barron
Calvary Chapel
St. George, UT
As volunteer worship leader for a new church,
I and our congregation have truly been blessed
by your arrangements. I am unfamiliar with
many hymns, having only faint memories from
childhood, but I have inserted weekly at
least one to mix with the contemporary music.
The looks on the faces of our worshiping
people tell me many are familiar with a particular
song, but are taken back and excited by the
new arrangement. You've truly done a service,
and it was money well spent by me in obtaining
the fruit of your gifts.
Mike Nealley
Lifewater Community Church
Fort Wayne, IN
I just want to tell you how incredibly impressed
I am with your hymn arrangements. They are
exceptionally musical and beautiful and I
love every single one. Thank you for your
work in this important area.
Monika Rose
Emmanual Baptist Church

We use HymnCharts and have had a good response
to them. The piano parts are a blast to play.
Tricia Green

Thanks for your ministry. We've been using
your arrangements with great success for
a few months now. The quality of the music
is excellent!
Gregory Pittman
Citadel Square Baptist Church
Charleston, SC
I just love these arrangements and never
take the time to let you know that. For a
classically-trained pianist who loves worship
music - this website has lifted our hymn-singing
to a whole new level.
Patti Kruse
New Covenant Lutheran Church
Scottsdale, AZ
I've been using your arrangements during
our services over the past several months.
It has helped bridge the gap between the
"traditionalists" who aren't happy
without hymns and the "contemporaries"
who like a more upbeat, contemporary worship
service, where hymns just don't complement
in style. It's helped a great deal. Thanks
so much for making this service available.
I hope you continue to use this gift as long
as possible!
Rachel Rode
Southwest Covenant Church
Lockport, IL
I used your arrangement to end the worship
Sunday and received more feedback on "Amazing
Grace" than I've ever received on a
hymn.
Gary Griffith
First Baptist Church of Swartz
Swartz, LA
I love your rendition of Rejoice, the Lord
is King!!! WOW! That is so cool! I plan on
doing it this Sunday and am very excited
to hear all the parts together. You are doing
outstanding work for the Kingdom! Thank you
so much and may the Lord continue to expand
and abundantly bless you.
Grace Bent
Christ Lutheran
Whitefish, MT
Your arrangements are perfect for my choir!
We are a small beginner group of 10, but
with your music, we feel successful and comfortable.
Thank you!
Jaclyn Gilbert
Greenview Alliance Church
Montoursville, PA
What a tremendous resource HymnCharts is
for our church. I really appreciate the way
you have maintained the rhythm of the hymn
and while at the same time updating the underlying
accompaniment. The integration of these two
things is so valuable.
Mark Jonah
Grant Memorial Church
Winnipeg, Manitoba
This website is AWESOME! Thank you so much
for the work you're doing. It helps me a
great deal.
Melissa Fox
First Baptist Church
Herndon, VA
I lead services about once a month and rely
on a good team around me to take what I put
together and make it happen. The team has
really enjoyed your arrangements. We have
used 8 of your hymncharts so far and they
have all been very effective. I try to blend
hymns and choruses, and hymncharts have added
freshness to the process.
Peter Regitnig
Taber Evangelical Free Church
Taber, Alberta, Canada
I use Hymncharts often in our worship. I
love the new arrangements of the old hymns!
People tell me regularly how much they enjoy
singing them, which thrills me no end. The
old hymns have such solid lyrics and tie
us in to those believers who have gone before
us. I don't ever want to lose that connection.
So thank you for making that possible in
such a wonderful way!!! May God abundantly
bless your ministry and continue to bless
your creativity.
Grace Bent
Christ Lutheran
Whitefish, MT
Love your arrangements! They flow so nice
with the rest of the worship without having
to stop and "switch gears" for
a hymn. The guitar players loved it, as well
as the congregation. Keep up the good work!
Pamela J Gafkjen
Wahpeton, ND
I just joined and am busy running some music
off this morning! Thank you so much - it
is what I have needed.
Sharon Strand

My worship band is amazed at your arrangements
and we are excited to be able to use some
traditional hymns in an uplifting style.
Keep them coming!
Dave Driver
Bethany Church

I have enjoyed your arrangements immensely!
HymnCharts is one of the most valuable tools
I have with my music ministry.
Darlene Karvelius
Christ the Rock Lutheran
Belvidere IL
HymnCharts opened up a way for us to reintroduce
hymns into our contemporary service. Nobody
is doing what you're doing. Keep it up!
Brett Pfender
The Turning Pointe Church
Evansville IN
Thank you for your arrangement of It Is Well With My Soul. I used this as our closing song at our
Good Friday service and the arrangement was
beautiful and glorified the power of the
words that exalted God on high. I and many
others were brought to tears while singing
this song. Your website has helped me to
integrate hymns sensitively in a blended
worship service. May God continue to bless
you in your work.
Winona Magno
Calvary Church
Toronto, Canada
Let me first say that you are doing a fantastic
job. I used your arrangement of All Hail
the Power Of Jesus' Name in an afternoon
praise program and it went off. Best version
of a hymn we've done... EVER! Keep up the
great work and thanks heaps. It's made my
life much, much easier.
Dave Page
Nowra, Australia
I really appreciate the work you do for the
church! HymnCharts makes my job less stressful
and I now have more quality time to spend
with people.
Aric Marshall
Singing Hills Christian Church
Hillsboro, OR
We used Joy to the World, Silent Night and
Hark! the Herald Angels for our Carols and
Candlelight Christmas Eve service. Everybody
LOVED them. We couldn't have gotten more
positive feedback from our congregation.
Scott McMurrian
Grace Memorial Baptist Church
Slidell, Louisiana
The HymnCharts arrangements are great. They
work well in our services which are predominantly
contemporary. I've had so many great comments
regarding the use of the hymns. We've used
more hymns than ever this fall! I thought
you'd like to know that they are working
well in this ministry.
Michael Fischer
Faith Covenant Church
Burnsville, MN
I am appreciating this service you provide
very much. Thank you so much for this ministry
and how it has helped me as a worship leader.
Terry Ross
Thunder Bay Baptist Church
Rogers City, MI
I have downloaded all of the Christmas songs
you have to offer and our praise team has
considered them a Godsend... As a pianist
I thank you for the full piano accompaniment.
I can read lead sheets if I have to but I
prefer a written piano part. I can't say
enough good things about HymnCharts.com.
Thanks for everything!
Kathy Wedding
Trinity Presbyterian Church
Arvada, Colorado
Thanks so much for your efforts in helping
us make this transition in church music.
As an organist for over 30 years, it has
been a pleasure to be able to keep the old
hymns I love so much, but have an exciting
arrangement that everyone enjoys. We do really
appreciate your ministry. You have no idea
what a help it has been for us.
Joy Gardiner
Berea Church of Christ
Vienna, Virginia
I cannot begin to tell you how much I love
Hymncharts.com. I am a musician and music
director for a traditional Protestant service
on a military base. We have a very mixed
congregation, but I have introduced many
of the hymns as special music and everyone
has commented on how they enjoyed the music
for the service. Thank you so much :)
Michele Urban
Vandenberg AFB, CA
I am enjoying your arrangements! Thank you
for your service, a real time-saver. I could
do (and do create) arrangements like these,
but it takes time, and there's seldom extra
time available. You fill a need at a reasonable
price for those of us on post-9/11 strapped
budgets. Thanks again!
Brad Weishaupt
Northwood Baptist Church
West Palm Beach, FL
Thanks for your hard work and dedication.
Those of us who can't do what you do certainly
are being blessed, as well as our congregations.
Gary Griffith
First Baptist Church

I love your site! I have had great fun just
discovering and using all that is here. Thanks!
Keep up the good work.
Susan Campbell
Cornerstone UMC
Newnan, GA
Keep up the GREAT work you are doing. You
are providing what we are needing to blend
the traditional with the contemporary in
hymns. The ensemble members love them and
so does the congregation. Love your stuff
and am recommending it to my fellow ministers
of music in NC.
James R. Davidson
Viewmont Baptist Church
Hickory, NC
Thank you. I have been looking for contemporary
hymn arrangements for a long time. You are
a blessing!
Patsy Gertson
1st United Methodist

I'm really looking forward to trying out
some of the hymns with my band and church.
I've been searching for years to find a source
of praise music that had decent keyboard
parts plus harmonies written out for singers.
Bob Reid
Brandon Lutheran Church
Brandon, SD
Thanks again for the great arrangements.
The hymns are a big hit with the band and
the church.
