This study was conducted to discover the attitudes of Nazarene worshippers towards worship music that could negatively affect the Church of the Nazarene in Papua New Guinea. The purpose was to identify the views that form the attitudes that may possibly be detrimental to the holistic growth of Christians within the denomination as well as their influence in and out of the ecumenical community of faith. The Ethnographic research method served as the main process of gathering data. The findings presented views from a diverse spectrum over the years that have laid the platform for the held attitudes. Most of the attitudes are rooted in the values, beliefs and practices of the Melanesian traditional culture and the influence of early Christian missionary legacy. With the rapid changes in the Papua New Guinean culture, many worshippers struggle between holding onto their former ways and embracing the new styles of contemporary Christian worship music. The findings, conclusions and recommendations in this work are intended to serve as a resource to aid pastors, worship leaders and church members in the Church of the Nazrene in Papua New Guinea and other Melanesian countries.
