| Motto: SOLI DEO GLORIA | Official Colors: Silver and Crimson |
The purpose of the American Guild of Organists is to promote the organ and organ music in their historic and evolving roles, and to provide a forum for mutual support, inspiration and education of Guild members.
For the greater glory of God, and the good of His Holy Church in this land, we, being severally members of the American Guild of Organists, do declare our mind and intention in the things following:
We believe that the office of Music in Christian Worship is a sacred obligation before the Most High.
We believe that they who are set as Choir Masters and as Organists in the House of God ought to themselves be persons of devout conduct, teaching the ways of earnestness to the Choirs committed to their charge.
We believe that the unity of Purpose and fellowship of life between ministers and Choirs should be everywhere established and maintained.
We believe that at all times and in all places it is meet, right and our bounden duty to work and pray for the advancement of Christian Worship in the Holy gifts of strength and nobleness; to the end that the Church may be instructed, that the honor of God's house may be guarded in our time and in the time to come.
Wherefore, we do give ourselves with reverence and humility in these endeavors, offering up our works and our persons in the Name of Him, without whom nothing is holy. Amen.
