The Getty Music Foundation has been established with a mission to educate churches, families and individuals across the globe in a Biblical view of theology, artistry, and mission in congregational singing.

We live in the most exciting time to be Christians.

Deep believers need encouragement to sing together of the incomparable riches of His grace. Please join us in prayerful support for the Foundation’s mission to equip, educate and encourage the global church.

Keith and Kristyn Getty

There are more professing Christians, more churches being planted, and the Bible is in more languages than at any point in human history.

Yet the challenges are more fierce than at any point and the global church - a great multitude from all tribes and peoples and languages, bound together in Christ - needs more support than ever before.

Our Vision

The Getty Music Foundation’s vision is carried out through the annual translation of each Sing! Global conference session into multiple languages, making them freely accessible through global networks. The Foundation also provides travel and accommodation grants, along with free conference passes, to help Christian leaders from around the world attend in person. In addition, it continues to invest in the extensive GMF International Alumni program, which fosters community among hymn writers and translators through networking, ongoing training, and the development of language-specific translation teams to serve the global church.
