The ACMA Theme Bible Verse Is :

Eph. 5:19 "Speak to one another with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs; sing & make music in your heart unto the Lord"


Basic Goals for ACMA :
ACMA will be holding weekly/monthly/yearly concert(s) at live music venues, churches, festivals, and other Christian events in and around the Austin area. Also, we are going to help with incorporating art, dance, drama, and more into these concerts; making it a complete worship experience!
 
"Christian Music Nights"
ACMA will also be a host/sponsor of "Christian Music Night" every Monday night at Mozart's Coffee House. The plan is to have an established night of the week at a coffee shop to be sponsored by ACMA as "Christian Music Night", eventually turning into multiple venues with simultaneous "Christian Music Nights" all over Austin (ex: Monday- Mozart's, Tuesday- Cafe Mundi, Thursday- Coffee Creator, Friday- Ruta Maya's, Saturday- Jammin' Java, Sunday- Saradora's Coffee House.)

ACMA Meetings
Once a month at North Hills Community Church, there will be meetings and social gatherings with local Christian musicians to discuss up and coming events and different ideas on how to bring the Christian Music Scene back to life in Austin.

ACMA Connections
Already, ACMA will have connections with numerous churches, live music venues, recording studios, Christian radio stations, concert promoters and publishing companies.

ACMA "Showcases"
Eventually ACMA will be hosting the "Individual Artist Showcase" and "Band Showcase" once a month. This is where an up an coming Christian artist/band will be selected to perform their music in front of people with comment sheets that will give them feedback on a scale of 1-10 on such things as: quality of music, style of music, presentation and performance, clarity of words, eye contact, subject matter, tonality, etc. At the end of the performance, the artist(s) may take the comment sheets home if they choose to do so.



ACMA "Workshops"
ACMA will be hosting a "Singer/Songwriter Workshop" once a year at a church here in Austin. These workshops will be 2 days in length, with different classes to attend throught the day. For Example: Songwriting 101 (Providing beginners with the basic structure of songwriting), How to Approach Writing Worship Songs, Do My Lyrics Make Sense(Cents)?, Writing the Perfect Chord Progression, Basic Music Theory For Dummies, etc. Here are some potential guests and speakers: Chris Tomlin, Charlie Peacock, Matt Redman, etc.
