The story of MSW

It all started with a vision that music and the arts should be more than just entertainment...that the Christian artist should always seek to Serve God's Word with his talents, whether in sacred or secular settings.   As a result, we believe people are able to encounter moments of truth and beauty with us, no matter where they are on their spiritual journey.  Since 2006, Music Serving the Word Ministries (MSW) has presented unique events, creatively blending spoken word, original music and impactful visuals.

Today, MSW equips a variety of creative artists and ministries to live out what God is calling them to do.

Our Founders

Bob & Gretchen Ravenscroft

For decades, Bob and Gretchen have been committed to the cause of Christ, the renewal of worship, and to supporting music and the arts that serve God's Word.  An able and avid teacher, Bob has served on several university jazz studies faculties over the years. Additionally, he toured for a decade with the Christian ministry "Majesty," and recorded an improvised musical and inspirational podcast called " Morning Glories."  He occasionally performs solo, or with his group, The Bob Ravenscroft Trio.  Transcending mere performance, Bob is always in pursuit of that special place where, as he says, "music serves the Word."
