Some nice things people have said about Dave:
First, a word from Dave’s friend, Jonathan Rundman, a singer/songwriter from Minneapolis:
“If you enjoy hosting community-wide concerts, scheduling guest musicians for Sunday morning worship, or providing fresh program ideas for children and youth ministry, then consider booking Dave Horn at your congregation. From concert songs to congregational involvement, Dave’s music leadership will connect across the generations and is built upon a passionately grace-oriented theology. I’ve rarely seen a musician deliver such a clearly communicated Lutheran understanding of faith in such an engaging way. And on top of all this, he’s an amazing guitarist with an aggressive acoustic finger-style technique that’s sort of like Crosby, Stills, Nash, & Young, with a touch of Randy Stonehill and Lindsey Buckingham, all rolled together and performed by one guy! I’d be happy to sit and listen to Dave Horn play instrumental guitar all evening, but it’s all the better to know that his lyrics and message are equally inspiring. Invite him to your town!”

“Dave,
I just wanted to thank you for leading worship on the 15th. I heard great things about your professionalism, music and most of all your incorporation of music and Scripture. Please keep us on the list in case you ever wander this way again!
Peace in Christ,
Peter Bergman”, Family of Faith Lutheran Church, Houston, TX
“I highly recommend Dave Horn. Dave was at our Lutheran high school recently for a concert and did a fantastic job! High school students, on a Monday morning, during a tough time of the year when students are tired and trying to survive till Spring Break…not exactly the best timing for a Christian concert. Dave did a fantastic job of engaging our teenage students; entertaining, talented, and funny, but most importantly, he communicated some truths about the Christian faith that our students can remember and use. I praise God that Dave Horn is answering His call to serve in this are of ministry. It is much needed and appreciated!”
Mark Liebenow, Principal, Concordia Academy (9-12), Austin, TX
“Dave was great! He connected with all three of our school levels; elementary, middle and high school. His incredible musical talent is only overshadowed by his authentic love for Jesus!”
Pastor Todd Stocker, Campus Pastor, Lutheran South Academy, Houston TX
“Thank you for getting [the CDs] mailed out. I am excited to give them to my son for his 7th birthday. It is one of the few things he has asked for. Two of my sons heard Pastor Horn at Bethel Lutheran and have not stopped talking about him since. We listen to Fix Our Eyes all the time. Even my 3 year old sings along. It is so fun!!!!
God’s Blessings, Nicole Gibson” (Maryland)
“Dave and Sabra,
Thank you again for sharing your ministry at Faith Lutheran Church in Cedarburg. God was up to something wonderful in the meeting of your music, the journey of the confirmands and this particular point in the life of the congregation. I appreciate your openness to the Spirit’s leading and the message that you shared, as well as your graciousness and encouragement. Thank you!”
- Pastor John Norquist, Faith Lutheran Church, Cedarburg, Wisconsin
“Hi, Pastor Dave and Sabra,
I wanted to thank you both for coming to Valley Lutheran Church, Chagrin Falls, OH, the other night. I had such a wonderful time and enjoyed your music very much. God has given you a wonderful gift. I cannot say enough good things about your ministry. You bring a unique approach that is both refreshing and uplifting. Many blessings to you both as you continue to spread God’s Word!
In Christ,
Rachel Benning (the vicar’s wife!)”
“WOW! What a tremendous sharing of God’s love yesterday. It is so good to see the students get excited about the Lord. Your enthusiasm and energy are contagious. If getting through and involving the junior high students is a miracle, then that’s what was witnessed. God’s speed on your travels.”
- Steve Rensner, Calvary Lutheran School, Indianapolis
“You led our worship service in Ladysmith, WI, a couple weeks ago and I wanted to tell you that I truly appreciated the experience. Your music and message enhanced the worship experience in a very meaningful way for me. Since then I have listened to your CD ‘Fix your Eyes’ many times, finding it to be spiritually supportive and just plain good listening… and I absolutely love the 10 Commandments song. It’s great fun. Thank you for sharing your gift!
- Margaret Foss-Stensvold, Ladysmith, WI
“Thank you, Pastor Dave, for bringing God’s Word to us in sermon and song last Sunday. There were nothing but positive comments on how the Word touched people where they were at—both children and adults. Your musical abilities on the guitar enhanced our worship greatly through both traditional Lutheran hymnody and newer songs with good Lutheran theology. God bless your ministry. As you travel to various churches and schools, remember God’s words to Jeremiah: “Before you were born I set you apart…You must go to everyone I send you to…I am with you.” (Jer. 1:5, 7-8 ) as well as God’s words to the exiles, which can also apply to you: “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord (Jer. 29:11).”
- Pastor Bob Busse, Calvary Lutheran Church, Princeton, WI
“Dave Horn’s music is inspiring, uplifting and life changing because it truly fixes our eyes on Jesus. His ministry is a gift to the church. We look forward to when he and Sabra return to Lutheran Island Camp!”
- Ken Erlandson, Director, Lutheran Island Camp, Minnesota
“Thank you, thank you, thank you for chapel today. I really appreciate your smooth delivery and style of blending song with running patter throughout. Thank you for being so polished and praising God so clearly. Please keep Denver Lutheran in your files for future years. We would gladly welcome you back! With you in Christ,
- Craig Parrott, Denver Lutheran High School”
“Since I had to rush off on Sunday and didn’t get a chance to say it then, thank you for sharing with us over the weekend. I got a lot of great comments and a lot of great feedback about playing for our service. Folks really appreciated it. Thank you. Blessings as you share God’s Word through your gift of music.
- Pastor Steve Hayden, St. Paul’s Lutheran Church, Melrose, MN
“Dave, with his musical ministry, left an awesome imprint with the gospel and was a tremendous blessing to Hosanna’s disciples. We pray for him to continue with boldness in his ministry, because it is a ministry.”
- Pastor Steve Kosberg, Hosanna Lutheran Church, Mankato, MN
“Pastor Dave brings a servant heart to the worship service, an assumption of teamwork with the local pastor, and an immediately obvious musical skill.”
- Pastor Jim Bender, St. Stephanus Lutheran Church, St. Paul, MN
“Dave, your way with the kids was enthusiastic and down to Earth, I pray God will continue to grant you His wisdom as you continue.”
- Joe Fountain, Teacher, First Lutheran School, Glencoe, MN
“Thanks for your presence with us yesterday. You really amaze me with your ability to pick those songs and make it look so easy. That is really a gift. Your message was also a gift. ”
- Ernie Freudenburg, DCO, Holy Cross Lutheran Church, Rochester, MN
“Pastor Horn has an incredible gift for music, an incredible theological mind, because he takes these truths of Lutheran theology that we learn in the catechism and he expresses them with his fingertips on the guitar and through the words that he puts down in the songs and to us as he sings. And for that we give thanks!”
- Rev. Phillip Penhallegon, Concordia University, Ann Arbor, MI
“Dave’s music lifts burdens from people, encourages them about their relationship with God, gives people certainty about their relationship with God. It’s real because he presents himself as one of us, a beggar dependent only on the grace of God, just like the rest of us.
- Pastor Bruce Laabs, St. John’s Lutheran Churcn, Plato, MN
“I wanted to thank you for the great job you did in sharing God’s Word with us through your singing and message…You were a blessing to us yesterday to be sure.”
- Pastor Steve Latzke, Our Redeemer Lutheran Church, South Bend, IN
