What does formation for service in the church as a musician look like? Dr. Kurt von Kampen (Professor of Music, Chair of the Music Department, Concordia University, Nebraska) and Paul Soulek (Cantor and Director of Music, St. John Lutheran Church and School, Seward, NE; Adjunct Faculty in Music, Concordia University, Nebraska) join Andy and Sarah to talk about where their love of church music came from, why they each chose their respective paths in education and church music, how music plays a role in the lives of the students and parishioners they serve, what Director of Parish Music formation looks like at CUNE, and why it’s so important that the church forms parish musicians.

Christ’s church will continue until He returns, and that church will continue to need church workers.
Set Apart to Serve (SAS) is an initiative of the LCMS to recruit church workers. Together, we pray for workers for the Kingdom of God and encourage children to consider church work vocations.
Here are three easy ways you can participate in SAS:
1. Pray with your children for God to provide church workers.
2. Talk to your children about becoming church workers.
3. Thank God for the people who work in your congregation.
