Reserve your date today and give your congregation the chance to hear Michael play this special pre W.W. I  1911 C.G. Conn Circus Bore Cornet!

Ministering to the local body of the Lord Jesus Christ with concerts, trumpet solos and dynamic biblically based messages. We are dedicated to giving all of the praise and worship and glory and honor to Jesus by worshiping our Savior with the Lord's Horns.

Welcome to the official website of professional Christian trumpet player Dr. Michael Schmidt.  Dr. Schmidt has been very blessed to have held solo instrumental Christian trumpet concerts in over 40 states over the last 25+ years.  Michael has been selected as one of the top 10 Christian trumpet players in the world.

Blow the Trumpet in Zion!

God loves you.  Christ died for you.  If you will believe that Jesus was the Lord who paid for all of your sins, confess and repent of your sins and receive Christ as your personal savior, God gives you eternal life in Heaven.  John 6:47 says that whoever believes in the Lord Jesus Christ has everlasting life.  

Here at the Trumpet of the Lord Ministry we are sharing the great news of the crystal clear gospel message of our Lord Jesus Christ to the lost and dying world where billions of people are still without a saving faith in Jesus.  We are excited about encouraging all believers to develop a deeper faith in their personal walk and relationship with the Lord.

Michael offers first class exciting and powerful music ministry and preaching at a fraction of the cost of his peers.

Ministers today do not invite just anyone to preach or hold a concert in their church. They are very careful about who they invite to minister. They want to be sure that the person that they invite has the proper preaching skills, character, and qualifications. In other words, Pastors are only willing to fill their pulpits with guest preachers who properly proclaim God's word, and who are competent, talented and spiritually gifted. They look for evangelists who glorify God at the forefront.

Musicians are sought after who do not seek to become the next Christian musical superstar, or charge prohibitive extremely high performance fees with long goodies or wish lists called "tech rider" requirements. Although the Trumpet of the Lord has expenses and needs to be met, Michael charges a modest and respectable fee to help meet ministries needs.

WHY DOES MICHAEL CHARGE UP TO 1/10TH WHAT SOME OF HIS PEERS CHARGE? BECAUSE MICHAEL DOES NOT JUST PERFORM FOR HIMSELF JUST TO MAKE MONEY. WE MINISTER TO GIVE ALL THE GLORY TO THE LORD.

Michael is not money-minded and he will work with you and your church in whatever set of circumstances that you have. Michael is not jealous of other ministries, and he is not obsessed with himself. Michael does not seek to be a big wheel, and although he does have logistical and other expensive needs that need to be met in order for him to minister to others. Michael does not seek to be pampered to. Michael is not on an ego trip, and Michael does not seek to become a big star, or to have a "cult" following. Michael believes that it is his job to point people to the Lord Jesus Christ. Michael comes to minister, not to entertain.

OVER THE LAST 25 YEARS HUNDREDS OF MINISTRIES IN OVER 40 STATES HAVE INVITED DR. MICHAEL E. SCHMIDT OF THE TRUMPET OF THE LORD TO PREACH AND HOLD CONCERTS IN THEIR CHURCHES. The Trumpet of the Lord is often asked by aspiring artists "why have so many churches invited Michael to minister for them, How do you get so many invitations to minister"? With 25 years of concert and preaching experience, along with multiple accredited Bible College and Seminary degrees, Michael is both experienced and qualified. YET MICHAEL IS HUMBLE: Michael appreciates every chance that he has to minister to "the one". Although Michael has played the trumpet in some of America's largest churches such as First Baptist Church of Snellville, GA and Thomas Road Baptist Church of Lynchburg, VA Michael still believes that there are no little places.

There is no church too small. Michael will minister to a church of any size. Michael shows respect for the pastors pulpit, and he honors the pastor who is the chief under shepherd and the leader of the flock. Michael would never put a pastor on the spot. He offers powerful soul stirring evangelistic biblically based sermons with a crystal clear gospel message. Solid and trustworthy biblical sound expositional messages are preached that are fun, friendly and warm. Michael brings sermons to the church that bring all of the glory to God. Sermons have an emphasis on worshiping Jesus, evangelism and the edification of the saints. Michael's sermons are well thought and interesting to listen to because they are designed to reach out to the people who hear them. Michael is committed to preaching for people, not just at them.

Michael has a good reputation for covering a lot of material in a short time without being boring and too long winded. Michael uses discretion and kindness in dealing with the congregation. Michael seeks to lead them to love the Lord and to serve him. He has a real burden for people and soul winning. Michael's musical style combines traditional and contemporary , the old and the new, with songs that speak of God and his attributes.

Our musical program is sensitive to each church's musical tastes, setting and style. We offer solid Christian music with sound theology that is biblically based. Our songs worship Jesus , and they contribute significantly to inspire and bless the congregation. Music is carefully selected to ensure that it has great taste and that it is appropriate for each occasion. Michael is a gifted artist/trumpet player who uses the gifts to play a trumpet that God has given him to give all of the praise, honor and glory to the Lord. "

THERE IS JUST SOMETHING SPECIAL ABOUT THE SOUND OF THE LORD'S HORNS

The powerful exciting relevant sound of the trumpet is effective in reaching both the elderly and the young people, and everyone in between. First class excellence with emphasis on ministering effectively and following the leading of the Holy Spirit is given, rather than to just perform and entertain people. MICHAEL IS AN EVANGELIST and a musician who believes that the trumpet as a unique but intricate part of Christian music that brings great joy to the soul and spirit. WE AT THE TRUMPET OF THE LORD ARE NOT PERFECT If you are looking for flawless ministers and perfect musicians we are not who you are looking for. We just are a small group of people who are dedicated to worshiping Jesus, edifying believers and sharing the crystal clear message of salvation with the lost. We do not claim to be the best preachers or trumpet players, yet we strive for excellence to always do our best. We do seek to live the Christian life to the best that we know how. Because we are often back stage we know that many so called Christian musical "stars" live one way on the stage, and another off of the stage. In a day and time when Christian musical "stars" have been caught involved in homosexuality, drug abuse, adultery and a long list of other sins, we understand that when you invite a ministry to your church you want to invite one whose behavior on and off the platform will reflect the values of your local church.
