Food for Thought
"The organ is the only approved instrument to be used to bring the congregation together for hymns. Trumpets and other horned instruments are taboo and too secular and may give rise to certain sexual actions not conducive of a proper worship environment. "
Thomas Mace 1613-1709

The Leadership Program for Musicians

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.

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.

LPM is an ecumenical program of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA), The Episcopal Church (ECUSA), The Presbyterian Association of Musicians (PAM), and the United Church of Christ Musicians' Association. Contributions to LPM through Joyful Gifts help provide this ministry to others.
