Serving as the Music Director at Antioch has been and continues to be one of the most fulfilling ventures in my life. The journey began in 1969 when we had no music budget and the repertoire consisted of hymnals. I'm proud to say today's budget allotment covers our needs quite adequately, and our music library contains many anthems and musicals representing a variety of musical styles.

Our music ministry includes a sanctuary choir for high school students and adults, a youth ensemble for middle school students, a children's choir for K-5th graders, and a preschool choir for 3 & 4 year olds.

Our church is blessed with talented and dedicated instrumentalists who willingly share their musical talents in our worship services. We currently employ an organist and pianist, and in addition have several volunteer musicians who join our choirs for special services.

Antioch has been my home since I was about nine years old. I met my husband here; we were married at Antioch and have reared our two daughters here. Now we're very proud and happy to watch our grandchildren grow up in a nurturing and loving church family.

One of the strengths of our church is an openness to new members. We pride ourselves on being a friendly congregation, and we strive to quickly involve new folks in the various ministries and activities of our church. We believe God has a place for everyone to serve!

Although my professional vocation was in public education, God has graciously allowed me to enjoy a second career as the volunteer music director at Antioch. The blessings have been abundant, and the excitement of serving my Lord has brought a life-time of inspirational experiences. What a joy it is to serve such a wonderful God and such a loving people at this place called Antioch.
