Last Sunday we announced Jack Griffin as our new Director of Music Ministries. Jack currently lives in Oregon, plays the trumpet, and has led both choral and instrumental groups in churches ranging in size from 80 – 600. He has served as a District Leader and consultant for church associations, training and equipping other leaders in worship and choral music. In addition, Jack has spent many years working with children in both choir and musical drama and personally composes and arranges music for choir, ensembles, and instrumental groups. He has been privileged to work with and beside many writers and composers including Dave Brubeck, Donald Erb, and Elmo Mercer. He has also worked with Holt International in Romania and studied under Chao Mai Pi, former Director of the Hong Kong Music Festival. Jack is an ordained minister with a major in music and minor in voice from Oklahoma Baptist University. His stated philosophy is to involve as many church members as possible in both presenting and participating in the worship experience. It is his conviction that a great corporate worship experience is a unique offering not dup-licated by any other media that the local church alone can provide. Jack and his wife Kelly will be here soon! We look forward to welcoming and getting to know them!
