Pastor Jonathan Conner, a graduate of Concordia Seminary, St. Louis, also earned a Master’s Degree in Christian Apologetics from Biola University. He currently serves as Senior Pastor of Zion Lutheran in Manning, Iowa, and Vice President of the Hausvater Project. His passion is to proclaim Christ—from the pulpit, in Bible class, and through online devotional articles.

He holds three of four earned certificates in the American Guild of Organists as well as memberships in the Music Educators National Convention, the Orff Schulwerk Association, the American Guild of Organists.

Mr. Timothy Conner, age 13, son of Pastor Jonathan Conner, treasures music. Beginning piano lessons in 2010, Timothy added the French horn and organ in 2015. As a student of Dr. J.
