Efficacy in youth ministry requires a unique combination of authenticity, integrity and the ability to be current without compromise. Alphaeus Anderson has proven to be effective in youth music ministry, not just evidenced by Stellar Award wins or Dove Award nominations, but by sustained interest of young people and the spiritual growth in their lives. I often tell people pursuing careers in music industry that you should never take advice from people who have not attained whatever it is you are trying to achieve, but to look to someone who has marked and sustained success in the area you are trying to grow to. Alphaeus Anderson has set a standard for youth music ministry and is someone I consider a formidable expert in this area.

Alphaeus Anderson has been impacting the lives of young people for years! He has a unique ability to speak into their lives and connect through the most basic of languages! Thousands of young people all over the world have been impacted by his gifts and talents. Its a true blessing to see all that has been accomplished and then know that there is SOOO much MORE ahead through Gain & Maintain!

Bro Alphaeus Anderson and his team has put together materials, training modules and a plan to help our young people develop spiritually and musically. Gain & Maintain is thee resource for those of us who continue to look for new ways to reach our youth especially those who are in our churches. I tip my hat to brother Anderson for his steadfast work and for caring enough to put this together. His integrity and consistency speaks for itself.
