A new thing in the CoG?
I have no issue paying a worship leader or pastor if that is their ministry profession. It would be nice to toss a few dollars to volunteer musicians as well if finances permit. But, is it becoming a thing to hire people to be a “worship leader” who is from a completely different faith? Say, a Catholic who still prays to Mary? Or is it ok to hire people who only come to church to play their instrument but are not professing Christians? For example, a keyboard player who also owns a bar? Is it now acceptable in the CoG to consider the worship part of the service as just another gig?
