All Praise was never created to force members to devote large amounts of time without compensation. The purpose of All Praise is, and has always been, to use the knowledge base of pastors, worship leaders and teachers to consult churches towards excellence – not to become a stable of worship-leaders-for-hire.

I felt it was an important enough move within the All Praise structure to let all AP Members know about this change. My wife and I feel it’s time to start being compensated for the work that requires so much time and effort from me and my family.

As far as the services received by the church I’m leading, nothing changes. Anything outside of Worship Leading will still be administered by and billed through All Praise Ministries, while the Worship Leading services will be billed by me directly.

As a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, we want to keep any and all financial decisions made about how your money is spent 100% transparent and available for your review.

Thank you for trusting us with your time, money and efforts. And most importantly, thank you for your continued support through prayer.

Blessings,

Jimmy Smith
Founder/Chairman
