David Lohman, Minister of Music (he/him)

Musician David Lohman grew up the son of a Lutheran pastor in Minneapolis. He has spent his life between his two musical passions – church music and musical theatre. He spent 3½ years as associate conductor for the Broadway tour of The Phantom of the Opera. He has devoted much of his life to working to counter the spiritual, psychological, and physical harm falsely done to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer people in the name of religion. He spent eleven years helping to create congregations that are fully welcoming of LGBTQ people as a national faith organizer for the National LGBTQ Task Force. His church music, including the hymn “For All the Children,” has been sung in LGBTQ-welcoming congregations across the country, and has been published in the latest Lutheran hymnal, All Creation Sings. His music, including his album, Fling the Church Doors Open Wide: Songs of Radical Welcome, can be heard at David Lohman Music.
