The Management Agency, Inc. (TMA) is committed to providing the very best in management support for artists, ministries, and other businesses needing professional services so they can focus on what they do best. We have over 23 years' experience in church and ministry business administration, Christian education, and in the management and administration of tours (domestic & international), events of all kinds, non-profit consultation services, and artist administration and management.

We are currently scheduiing Music Industry Consultations for Fall/Winter '08. The consultation is especially designed for Christian artists needing help in determining their calling as a musician and how that can develop into a career path. Even if you think you can't afford a manager or don't need one right now, if you don't have a plan for success then you won't be successful.

Many times the artist (or band) is not sure if he/she needs a manager, a booking agent, or just a plan (or all three!). We have found that most of the artists who contact us need someone to map out a career plan for them and provide them with the specific steps they need to take to become successful in ministry and in the music industry. Our Music Industry Consultation gives us the opportunity to do this and much more!

Our Music Industry Consultation will at least provide you with a road-map to help you prepare for your future in the music industry! Click here for more information about these consultations. PLEASE NOTE: We are not currently accepting management or booking clients outside of the consultation process.

"I became weary of doing all of the musical demands (touring, contacting, e-mailing, etc.) with just a few hands. Gary is helping shape a more controlled process in which I won't get caught up in all of the "other" things that it takes to be visible in the music world and I can concentrate more on the music. I would highly recommend the consultation and his services as a whole. He has a true compassion for the independent artist and makes the picture a little bit clearer." DJ Coles, DJ Coles Ministries, following his consultation in March, 2008.

"I think that a consultation with Gary Stripling could help you carefully think through your career objectives, assess your true desires, strengths and weaknesses. If you're not sure how you plan to get from where you are to where you want to be, a consultation could help you identify those steps. I found him to be quite reliable, forthright and honest in his business dealings, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone." Lynn DeShazo, (songwriter - "More Precious Than Silver" & many others - with Integrity Music)
