Summary

My mission is to maintain the purpose of congregational musical worship in the local church: Responding to the revelation of hope we have in life and death through Christ Jesus, who died for the sins of all mankind. I strive to achieve this by planning music that highlights the attributes of God's greatness in His glory and the compassion for His creation. I also strive to be a servant, setting the example of love and service towards not only the church family, but also the local community and those I come in contact with. Above all, I feel called to minister and serve God's creation, leading others to the same truth I have come to know in Christ alone.
