Women in Worship

i’ve been a part of leading worship for ten years in a variety of venues – everything from traditional southern baptist to non-denominational to large youth rallies! in the past few years i’ve had a number of amazing mentors in the area of leading worship, and one was a tried and true female leader. her knowledge, insight, and experience pushed me forward in SO many ways. through her, i was also exposed to a number of other influential male leaders in our community who were powerful worship leaders.

i am currently leading worship in a small baptist church in New England. i am growing to respect and value Robert Webber’s approach, which he coined “Blended Worship.” i think the Church, the Bride of Christ, can truly find her voice in a method of worship that does not retire the old hymns of our heritage, nor dismiss the new and innovative praise and worship songs of this generation.

i like the beach, and i love music… i pass the time by writing and recording original music. my songs are sort of like my diary… if you wanna know what’s been on my mind lately, ask me what i’m writing!
