Paul Friesen-Carper

Paul Friesen-Carper is the Cantor at Trinity Lutheran Church in Richmond, Michigan where he shares his love of leading the worshipping assembly in song – from folk to baroque and from ancient latin to latin-american. He frequently leads assembly song at gatherings of the larger church. His compositions include liturgical settings, songs for choir and assembly as well as commissions from the ELCA Division for Worship and the Association of Lutheran Church Musicians. Paul performs as a guitarist, vocalist and multi-instrumentalist, and holds a BA in music (Valparaiso University) and a MA in theology (Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago).
