Paul is a freelance church musician, consultant, and composer committed to building, renewing, and re-shaping faith communities through music and liturgy. He is excited to help congregations broaden their repertoire of sung prayer and praise and to demonstrate how participatory music and liturgy can energize and unify worshipers from varied backgrounds, cultures, and traditions.
As the Executive Director of Music that Makes Community, Paul is passionate about modeling and sharing leadership practices that sustain the musical and spiritual life of faith communities. He provides support and resources to an international network of leaders committed to practices of oral tradition singing (online and in-person), grounded in a theology of welcome and generosity.
Additionally, he serves as the Director of Music at Eden Theological Seminary in St. Louis, MO where he directs the Seminary Choir, collaborates with faculty and student worship leaders, and serves as a resource to the wider faith community.
