TO SUM IT UP

A faithful worship leader magnifies the greatness of God in Jesus Christ through the power of the Holy Spirit by skillfully combining God’s Word with music, thereby motivating the gathered church to proclaim the gospel, to cherish God’s presence, and to live for God’s glory. – Worship Matters

Guitars for Glory is a non-profit organization formed by friends who are passionate about their faith and music. Music is an amazing blessing that we often take for granted. There are many communities around the world who do not have access to the instruments we can so easily get our hands on.

/ Our Mission

/ Our Mission

Our sole desire is to put guitars and instruments in the hands of churches, schools, missionaries, and orphanages. Our hope is to enhance their musical experience and build up worship leaders within the community; through the giving guitars and musical training.

WHAT WE DO

Guitars For Glory strives to partner with organizations who have a local presence and deep connection with communities around the world.  It is through these partners that we are able to identify guitar placements.  Through a number of different avenues and fundraising opportunities, GFG raises funds to purchase new instruments to be placed with recipients who have a deep need to rebuild, inspire, encourage, and create authentic music aimed at bringing glory to our Creator.  We believe that we need to give our best, and have a GFG motto: "We won't send what we wouldn't play ourselves."   We believe that along with the tangible needs there are for instruments, there are also great needs for both technical training and training of the heart.  In the past seven years through the support of our generous contributors, GFG has placed over 700 instruments in 60+ different countries.
