| Introduction | After spending ten years as a music professor at a Christian university in Texas, I currently serve as a church music director. I spent the first 30 years of my life in the Assemblies of God but recently, I began the process to be ordained as a deacon in full connection in the United Methodist Church. Some refer to folks like me as "post-charismatic, but not post-Spirit" and I think this fits me. I have a doctorate in sacred music, with an emphasis in church music history and literature, as well as significant work toward a doctorate in vocal performance and pedagogy. I have a wonderful wife who moved halfway across the country with me and the three most beautiful little girls in the world. |
