St. Paul’s Music Conservatory is a parish-based music conservatory located within the walls of St. Paul’s Lutheran Church. The mission of our music conservatory is to raise up the next generation of musicians for the Church and community.

St. Paul’s Lutheran Church established the Conservatory in 2009 specifically for the development of church musicians and as an outreach to the community. Once proficient on their instruments, students at SPMC are intentionally placed in positions of performance for their own development and as a service to others. Conservatory students regularly share their music throughout the broader community, especially in area churches.

One way of raising up more musicians for the Church and community is to establish similar parish-based music conservatories across the United States and in the foreign mission field. Our music conservatory leadership is engaged in this activity through the establishment of a corporation called, “David’s Harp: A Center for Musical Development.” This entity is working with the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod in order to produce resources, plant music based missions and establish networks the churches, schools and missions of our church body. One resource that we are very excited about is our “Hymns of the Season” Series.
