English term or phrase:music ministry.
Is there a commonly used expression for ministry in this sense, other than teleso or oddeleni? Neither doesn't seem to fit... Music ministry is an entity, consisting of all the choirs, singers, musicians etc. at an individual church.
Explanation: The credit should go to Radek, this is more a point for further discussion than an answer per se. In his answer, he mentions "hudební a evangelizační skupiny" which brought me to the idea that these two adjectives combined very well convey the meaning of the term and are understandable to the population at large. And yes, I would still use translator's note to explain the term in full.
In all fairness, this was a "joint" effort (although we have not heard from Radek and I can only hope he would agree with my aswer). This is my suggestion, I got 4 points, but if Radek likes the answer, he could gloss it and earn 10 points.

OK, time to close this for now, due date approaching. Since not even God can make everybody happy, I, mere lowly word chewing underpaid freelancer, cannot do that either. Considering the sentence it comes from (The Music Ministry of XXX church in XXX consists of ten ensembles of more than 350 singers, ringers and instrumentalists who seek to glorify God, proclaim ........)and trying to keep the double meaning - the idea of spreading the word as well as the idea of being a body/group of people doing it - I am going with the result of Radek's and Martina's joint effort and will call it Hudebni evangelizacni sekce. Amen:)
Martina, this is not about fight. This is about translation, which is not easy in this case. Reading www.cb.cz, you might find interesting articles and some ideas. My suggestion, after typing "evangelizace" would be: evangelizace hudbou.

I sure did not intend to start a fight...all I needed was a suggestion how to say Music ministry in Czech without sounding stupid or totally off the wall. The concept is quite clear, we all know what it is in English. All I hoped for was an answer from either somebody who translated and got it approved by experts before or somebody involved in this type of activity/organisation/ministry in the Czech republic. Thank you all for your ideas so far... luckily it is not due tomorrow.
Sireni viry zpevem uz je lepsi, diskutujte prosim s manzelem casteji, ma na Vas zrejme dobry vliv. Martino, dejte mi pak vedet, co jste se dozvedela, hudebni oddeleni je asi nejvystiznejsi, ale dal bych k tomu hvezdicku a dlouhy popis
Spravny postreh. Tento vyraz sa do cestiny alebo slovenciny neda prelozit inak len opisne. Po debate s manzelom, ako som uz uviedla, je to sirenie viery (nabozenstva)spevom. Styl a rytmus nie je podstatny. Rokova muzika a pod...

Diky za napady...presne to potvrdilo, ceho jsem se obavala:(. Existuje vubecneco takoveho v Cesku? Tahle Music ministry je vlastne cela ta "vec", cele oddeleni, soucast kostela, skladajici se z nekolika sboru (kazdy se jmenuje jinak), hlasovych solistu, individualnich hudebniku, orchestru a lidi, starajicich se o technicke zalezitosti, papirovani atd. Sekretarka zpiva ve dvou sborech, houslista hraje v ruznych prvcich atd. No, berou to tu velice vazne...a co s tim potom v cestine???
Podivej se na http://www.mediatunes.com/bhow/bhow.php Ja bych zavolal nasemu knezi, ale v AZ mam pulnoc. Zkus zavolat nekam do velkeho kostela a zeptat se, nejlepe v nekolika ruznych cirkvich. Tady se v kostelech bere hudba vazne a nazvy jsou drobet hoch

ministry... below
Explanation: knesky uřad, duchovny stav = ministry If your question is about ministry, that would be as you red. Music ministry means to minister(to spread) faith, gospels by music. I ma not sure if it could be translate as nabozenska or duchovna muzika ( hudba ). Type" music ministry" in GOOGLE. Lost of to read.
