The Leadership Program for Musicians is a teaching ministry that gives church musicians
an increased sense of vocational awareness, along with the tools and resources
to enable congregations 
to sing well and participate actively in worship.

The Leadership Program for Musicians is a national  organization who administers a curriculum covering key areas in church music and liturgical education as well as spiritual formation.  LPM is a program of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America and the Episcopal Church USA.  LPM is taught by highly qualified teachers and tailored to local needs. Classes can be taken in whole or part, and when studies are successfully completed awards the LPM Certificate in Church Music. The program is taught locally and covers the need for liturgical education and spiritual formation as well as a full range of church music skills. Particular attention is paid to smaller church needs.  Learn more about LPM.

Psalms for All SeasonsAll 150 Psalms in a Variety of Settings

This newly published volume offers an anthology of psalm use, covering the history, reception, and practice of the Psalms in Christian worship. The book contains all 150 psalms, most in multiple formats, and utilizes a wide variety of musical and spoken settings. It also provides complete musical settings for morning and evening prayer. Each psalm appears in its actual biblical text, including as responsive readings. This invaluable resource for churches of all traditions is well suited to congregational use, helping pastors, worship leaders and planners, and choirs bring the Psalms back into the heart of congregational worship.
