Book Frances Drost.
“Frances Drost is a gifted servant of the King!” says Carol Kent, President of Speak Up Speaker Services. “She is an extraordinary worship leader and her passionate heart for God, combined with musical excellence that includes superior vocals and fine-tuned keyboard skills, will lead you into the very presence of God. I highly recommend her as a speaker, a worship leader, and as a concert artist.”
Carol Kent is not alone in her praises of Frances. Eric Copeland, President of Nashville’s Creative Soul Records, comments “Not often does a songwriter come to me with the depth of lyric, stark emotion, and just plain strong melodic sense that Frances Drost brings with her songs.” And the Christian Music Industry is recognizing the unique gifting that God has placed on her ministry as well.
At the recent Momentum Award Ceremony in Nashville, Frances was a nominee for “Inspirational Artist of the Year” and was the winner of the 2009 Momentum Award for “Female Artist of the Year.” The awards are the premier recognition program for Christian Independent Artists in America, sponsored by IndieHeaven.
Frances Drost is a concert artist and inspirational speaker who began her own company, “Musical Creations” as a way to encourage people on their journey through life. She skillfully combines music, teaching, and speaking to present a unique, professionally designed program. As both a singer and songwriter, Frances has a unique way of presenting real-life experiences and meaningful messages that are subtly woven throughout her music. In fact, it has been said, “Be careful about inviting Frances to your home; she may write a song about you.”
As a speaker, Frances is genuine, vulnerable, and downright entertaining. Her love for people – with all their flaws and faults – is unmistakable and her ability to captivate an audience is inspiring. Candy Davison from Sandy Cove Ministries in Maryland writes, “I sensed a heightened degree of attentiveness during your message from the ladies compared to the norm. You could hear a pin drop while you were speaking!”
Frances is creative and committed to serving those who entrust her with time and influence. She can tailor her programs to suit your needs – from a full blown major concert to a small group of ladies gathered for tea. She is able to develop topics and themes at your request and is able to weave music into any topic – that is just another of her unique abilities.
Topics include:
What Personality Are You?
This is a fun look a the 4 personality types and how to relate to others within those. Learn more about others and yourself!
Miss America or Miss Kingdom?
Lots of fun, creative ideas come out of this topic for a ladies’ retreat. The theme centers on what the Kingdom of God is desiring in a woman vs. what the world requires to be ‘Miss America’.
Topics include:
What Is A Woman of God? (a Biblical View of what God loves in a woman) Finding Yourself in Christ! (knowing who we are in Christ is foundational to our self-esteem)
How Am I Shaped? (need help figuring that out? It’s not the ‘shape’ you might be thinking)
Shriveled Sarah (don’t dismay – new life comes from even a shriveled potato…..a fun look at gardening analogies)
You Were Born For Greatness! (discover some keys to pursuing your dreams from a favorite Bible character)
Do You Have What It Takes To Bring Home The Crown? (and what kind of crown are we talking about?)
A Worship Weekend
This is a great theme for anyone who wants to learn more about true worship. Seasoned with some sweet times of worship – this is a potentially powerful time together.
Topics include: Exalting God in the Midst of Life-related Disorders (an in-depth look at the power of praise)
Do You Worship Like A Cat Or Like A Dog? (a humorous look at how similar our worship might be to these favorite house pets)
Offering Plate (a challenging look at the controversy between hymns vs. chorus, traditional vs. contemporary and band vs. organ)
Extravagant Worship (gather your daytimer, matches and perfume – it’s time to worship…..extravagantly!)
Other topics or themes may be developed at your request to fit your event. Music can be woven in to any of these themes – that is one of Frances’ unique abilities.
Endorsements
Not often does a songwriter come to me with the depth of lyric, stark emotion, and just plain strong melodic sense that Frances Drost brings with her songs. I’m so excited to release her new CD “Inside Things” under the Creative Soul Records banner I can hardly stand it. This fits exactly the kind of “next step” artist we are looking for. Someone who was become a “student of the game”, done her homework, and in the process has transformed herself into an artist and songwriter at the top of her game. I expect great things from Frances’ music and ministry.

Frances Drost was the Praise and Worship leader for the 50th Anniversary conference for Protestant Women of the Chapel-Europe in Willingen, Germany. Military spouses, female soldiers and Chaplains from all over Europe gathered for a 5 day conference of Worship, Instruction and Enrichment Workshops.
Frances truly organized each segment of Praise and Worship so that there was a seamless flow of worship music. Her ability to weave contemporary music with powerful hymns made the worship experience a blessing for women of many faith backgrounds. Because Frances is not afraid of contemplative silence carefully woven in-between songs we truly sensed the Lord’s presence.
PWOC is a military ministry that recognizes the many stresses on military families because of deployments and redeployments. Therefore the women and chaplains come to conference hungry to be in God’s presence. Frances was the vessel God used to fill our hearts with joy and guide us through music to the throne of grace. Frances truly has an unobtrusive style and the focus was on the Lord. The evaluations after conference were absolutely glowing. Women were truly ministered to by the prayerful and uplifting music of Frances Drost. I would gladly have Frances come back again.”

Thank you for coming to Sandy Cove to minister in music and through the Word. You have a wonderful musical gift and you share it extraordinarily well! I also sensed a heightened degree of attentiveness during your message from the ladies compared with the norm. You could hear a pin drop while you were speaking! All of the written comments indicated that the women enjoyed the whole program. Thank you for all of your excellent preparation and for your very insightful message.
