Robert Richardson, Minister of Music and Youth

"My dream is to see people truly worship Jesus Christ in spirit and truth. It is my heart's desire to continually lead our choir in worship and spiritual maturity. In our youth ministry, we desire to see youth come to Jesus Christ and grow in their relationship with Him as well as with other Christians. We strive to accomplish this goal through summer camp, winter retreats, Disciple Now, and Wednesday night youth services."
