worship leadership
With 22 years of combined experience as a worship director, choir conductor, music educator, composer, actor, and theatre director, I am passionate about creating musical, artistic, and liturgical worship experiences which are:
Rooted & Responsive: reflecting both traditional elements as well as forward-thinking strategies and structures
Intentional: deliberately inspiring and challenging followers of Christ to live God’s unfolding story, as well as welcoming and including anyone unfamiliar with church, worship, or the particulars of a denomination
Collaborative: involving pastors, staff, laity, artists, performers, familiar voices and unique voices in both the planning and the leading of worship.
