About Me
- Mike Barker
- Michael R. Barker is director of music and organist at Black Mountain Presbyterian Church in Black Mountain, NC. I got my undergraduate degree in psychology and religious studies from Guilford College, Greensboro, NC, and earned a Master of Divinity degree from Wesley Theological Seminary, Washington, DC. I did further graduate studies in music composition at Virginia Commonwealth University, Richmond, VA. I have been a clinician in several settings on various areas of church music. My anthem for children’s choir, Miriam’s Song, is published by Chorister’s Guild, and my set of organ works, Three Festive Pieces for Christmastide, is published by Warner Bros. Publications. I have also written music and teaching materials for Abingdon Press and Cokesbury, especially for the Church Music Workshop. I have a new set of Christmas carol settings for flute and organ which was released last fall by MorningStar Music. My wife is Elizabeth Barksdale Barker, a marketing and communications specialist in the non-profit realm, working at MANNA FoodBank in Asheville, and we are the parents of eleven-year-old Eli, and five-year-old Briggs and one-year-old Calvin.
