“Now that our search for a worship leader with Ad Lib Music has come to a successful conclusion, I wanted to let you know what a pleasure it was working with Theresa. She communicated with us quickly and clearly, attended many meetings and led them well, screened candidates with thought and wisdom, and so much more. Our use of Ad Lib was worth every penny spent! I will recommend you guys to everyone.”
– Allen Dise, Senior Pastor, Newport Dove in Elm, Pennsylvania
"As a solo pastor in a small church with limited resources, the best aspect of the Ad Lib experience was the fellowship and camaraderie of like-minded co-laborers in the gospel. Ad Lib wasn’t your typical consultant, in for a weekend and out again. They were invested in the process, committed to the success of the ministry, and willing to go the extra mile."
– Dr. Chris DiVietro, Senior Pastor, First Presbyterian Church of Reading, Pennsylvania
“Dave was a great asset to CBC in the midst of our transition to find a worship leader. He was a servant leader who provided coaching to our worship leaders. He took a young and inexperienced guitarist and developed him into an effective worship leader.”
– Jeff Burkholder, Senior Pastor, Community Bible Church in Marietta, Pennsylvania
“Ad Lib Music helped our church through a very difficult time of transition in the loss of our Worship Pastor. His calm presence, servant heart, and passion to serve the local church brought healing to our church and our worship team at a time when we needed it the most. Our coach’s wisdom, experience and insight also helped our leadership team as we crafted a new job description and went through the interview process. I would highly recommend Ad Lib’s expertise in coaching and leading worship to any church that is facing transition or simply wants to help their worship director grow and be encouraged. I think that the cost was very reasonable for the amount of time that they spent in helping us in the process. If you would have told me a year ago that we would be spending this much, I would have probably been thinking ‘wow, that is a lot of money for a church to spend for those services’ but in hindsight…seeing all that they did in the process and the load that this took off of me and our leadership team and the experience and wealth of knowledge that he brought to the process…it was money well spent!”
– Daleen Charles, former Executive Pastor, Pequea Church in Willow Street, Pennsylvania
“WABC and I benefited so much from Ad Lib Music. Our coach brought much to the table and assisted me and WABC in so many ways. His experience in the field of music and knowledge of church life enabled us to go through the music pastor search process in a relatively smooth fashion. Our coach’s participation as well as his colleagues for leading Sunday services (and weekly rehearsals) were wonderful! In the future, I won't hesitate to tell others about Ad Lib Music and how needed this ministry is!”
– Jay Quirk, Lead Pastor, Washington Avenue Bible Church in Ephrata, Pennsylvania
“Ad Lib Music was contracted to coach our worship team to bring them to a higher level musically and in leading the congregation into worship. The sense that Dave’s love for God and genuine desire to see the church deepen in its worship was ever present in the coaching. Little did we know at the time that we would soon experience a dramatic change in the worship leader position. Dave responded well to the events as they unfolded. He was able to help the team move forward through the experience. Dave also helped us in the search for a new worship leader and provided some valuable insight and information that helped us in that process. I really felt like he went above and beyond what was expected in the contract. I would highly recommend Ad Lib Music and Dave Helmuth to any pastor or church that has the desire to improve their worship experience.”
– the late Dennis Loose, former Senior Pastor, LifeSpring Fellowship in Lititz, Pennsylvania
“I have found in Ad Lib Music a rich resource for providing short-term coverage for Sunday mornings, as well as helping us through seasons when we were searching for a ‘permanent’ worship leader. They have connected us with worship leaders and musicians and helped us think through what is needed for our worship service at any given time. Our coach is not only a tremendously talented musician; he has a deep grasp of the nature of worship, shows extreme sensitivity to our particular way of worshipping, and interacts with others in a pastoral manner, nurturing younger musicians by teaching and example.”
– Mike Alleman & Andrea Brown, Pastors, Grandview United Methodist Church in Lancaster, Pennsylvania
