We are singing with a purpose!!!

Who We are

The Mind and Music Ministry began with a group of local “Musicians on a Mission,” who love music and desire to serve the community. God has blessed us to play instruments, sing, direct, teach annd write music. We are humbled to share the gifts God has given us.

Why We exist

We exist to bring awareness to mental health through music.

Mental health challenges have become more prevalent in our society. Many are suffering in silence. Therefore, there is a growing need for support, via professionals, family, friends, and the church needs to be involved.

Mental health is important at every stage of life, from childhood and adolescence through adulthood.

Mental health includes our emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It affects how we think, feel, and act. It also helps determine how we handle stress, relate to others, and make healthy choices.

Mental health issues can affect anyone. In 2020, about:

• One in 5 American adults live with a mental health condition.

• One in 6 young people have experienced a major depressive episode.

• One in 20 Americans have lived with a serious mental illness, such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, or major depression.

Music for awareness

Music can inspire and entertain. It also has psychological effects that can relax your mind and improve your health and well-being.

Every year there are new findings on the benefits of music for your mental health and it is incredible that an individual’s physical and mental well-being can be improved by something as simple as listening to good tunes.

At the present time, more and more people are using music for mental health treatments and there have been many positive effects. If you’ve ever felt pumped up while listening to your favorite fast-paced song or been moved to tears by a tender live performance, then you easily understand the power of music to impact moods and inspire action.

There are several effects that music has on the brain. Chemicals like oxytocin and dopamine are lured out by satisfying sounds and they aren’t the only ones released when you find the right song.
