Welcome to guitar player for christ

I'm so glad you took time out to check out this site, guitar player for christ. Let me first begin my introducing myself and then I'll share with you a bit about why guitar player for christ is here.

I'm Mitchell Ashley, a guitar player, bass player, song writer and contemporary worship musician. For the last ten years or so I've been playing bass, acoustic and electric guitar (my primary instrument), singing and leading worship as part of God's House Band at Broomfield United Methodist Church in Broomfield, Colorado, where I've also served as the GHB band leader. Recently I was invited to also play lead guitar monthly at Southeast Christian Church (SECC), a larger church in south Denver, Colorado. In 2006 I recorded my first Chrstian music CD, Shelter: River of Souls, with two friends and long time professional musicians, Michael Reese and Tommy Stephenson. I also serve on the board of The Kingdom Project (website under development), a non-profit organization chartered to help Christian song writers get their music recorded and published.

Worship through contemporary Christan music is a ministry I have a passion for and to which I've dedicated myself. I can imagine no greater way to worship God and Jesus Christ than to sing and play music which worships and glories Him. Worship music is ministry for me and one of the primary ways and I can be a servant to the Lord. I've created this website as another way of giving and serving the Lord.

guitar player for christ is a website and blog for contemporary Christian guitar players, bass players, worship leaders, singers, song writers, and musicians who love worshiping Jesus Christ. Our focus is that of the contemporary worship guitar player, though we'll talk about many topics besides guitar-centric topics. Together we'll cover topics like worship planning, playing guitar solo and with a worship band, guitar equipment and tech, favorite artists, new music, playing better as a band, serving our pastors and worship leaders in our churches, and much more.

I hope to share with you my own ideas, insights, information, resources, struggles, prayers, and blessings being a musician serving Christ. I hope you will do the same here through your comments, guest blog posts (contact me if are interested) and being a part of the guitar player for christ community.

I'm glad you decided to share this journey of worshiping God as a Chistrian guitar player with me. I pray the Christ guide and bless your life as you life, worship and serve Him.

Blessings

Mitchell Ashley
