The Music Ministry at St. Paul exists to glorify God! Our music program is designed to focus on God’s saving acts, the stewardship of God’s gift of music and providing ways for people to develop and use these musical gifts in worship. We are grateful for the abundance of willing people who share their musical gifts with us: St. Paul members and others who are interested in participating in one of our music ministry areas, as well as University students who are worshiping with us and making St. Paul their home as they pursue studies in the Austin area.
Please contact Jonathan Mueller, Director of Music (jonathan.mueller@stpaulaustin.org), if you are interested in participating or would like more information.
