Director of Music
Michael Langham
[email protected] ext. 18
One of the greatest blessings in my life has been the opportunity to use my musical gifts to serve God and lead the Lord’s worshippers in praise and adoration. I came back to the Bay Area to lead the Music Ministry of St. Stephen’s in the fall of 2016. If I’m not making music at church, you might find me conducting in the pit for a musical, playing with a symphony orchestra, in the park playing harp for a wedding or showing an Australian Terrier in confirmation at a dog show. In my spare time, I plan to finish my doctoral studies in 2020.
