Summary
Enthusiastic worship leader offering more then 25 years of experience as a leader, teacher, director, educator and singer. Strong attention to detail with creative and friendly style. Certified in Choral Music education I believe that a successful worship service contains a variety of music. Let us not forget the hymns that our parents and grandparents sang, while adding in some of the new. I believe that a choir that prays together, will praise together.
