SONG OFFERING SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
International Mass Choir – AIM/Holy Convocation
One of the goals of the International Mass Choir (IMC) is to promote music development and exposure of song writers while focusing on spiritual growth and communication with God. We encourage writers to submit songs that minister to the listener and congregation, understanding that anointed music destroys yokes. In an effort to achieve this goal, the IMC staff will work with new and seasoned writers, vocalists, musicians, and directors developing their talents and maximize their skills. The end result is to become an essential asset to the International Mass Choir as well to their local church ministries.
