The Story

Do you need a pianist? Worship Service Resources (WSR) produces piano accompaniment CDs and hymn DVDs for congregational singing - for churches that do not have a pianist or whose pianist is not always available.

Tony Pangle, founder of Worship Service Resources, has served as Worship Leader for over 20 years in churches ranging in size from 60 in attendance to 3000. He has a degree in Music Education and understands the challenges unique to churches of various sizes.

Passionate about the worship ministry of the local church, Tony blends his love for Christ, heart for worship, musical training and experience. He particularly desires to be a support to smaller congregations.

In the early summer of 2004, the Lord clearly led Tony and his wife to leave the church where they had been serving for several years. The church was very large with an abundance of resources, including very talented musicians. Leaving this church without another church to go to was quite a step of faith. As they prayed over opportunities that summer, all they could discern from the Lord was, “Wait.”

By August, the Lord had birthed in their hearts a desire to do something to support smaller-membership congregations, but the picture wasn’t clear. Then, in October the Lord placed Tony as Director of Music at a smaller congregation of about 80 members. This congregation had limited instrumental and vocal resources – exactly the type of church they wanted to support!

They contacted the pianist from their previous church and asked if he would be willing to record piano accompaniment to hymns and praise songs for congregational singing. He graciously agreed. The piano accompaniment CDs were well received, encouraging the congregation to sing old and new songs without overwhelming them with complicated arrangements . . . and Worship Services Resources was born!

The following summer, Tony and his wife began making the piano accompaniment CDs and hymn DVDs available nationally at church conventions and through Christian retailers. WSR resources are now filling a need in thousands of churches and small group ministries across the country. To God be all the glory.
