Tom Witt (pictured here with partner and musical collaborator Mary Preus) has a wealth of experience in planning and leading worship in Lutheran and ecumenical settings, and in particular, integrating diverse worship traditions that celebrate the vibrancy of the global church. Tom co-founded Bread for the Journey, an ensemble committed to encouraging congregational singing, sharing music with theological integrity, and helping music ministers to inspire the community’s song and serve the community’s prayer. Tom has served as musician-in-residence at Holden, as a global music consultant for the Global Mission Unit of the ELCA, and on the chapel music staff at Luther Seminary in St. Paul, MN. Tom first came to Holden in 1962 when he was five years old.
