New Music Director

It is with great pleasure that we announce on behalf of the Music Search Committee the acceptance of our recommendation by Session to hire Ms. Hanna Wo-Milanaik for both of the open positions:  Music Director and Accompanist. 

Hanna is uniquely qualified for both positions, holding an undergraduate degree in voice from the Ewha Women's University in Seoul, South Korea and a Masters in Choral Conducting from the College-Conservatory of Music of the University of Cincinnati.  Hanna also has amazing skills on the piano, and some additional experience playing organ.  Hanna has served in numerous positions as choral conductor, both for adult and children’s choirs, and as accompanist in her native South Korea and in the US, her most recent positions being the organist and music director of the Lutheran Church of the Cross in Evergreen, the assistant conductor of the Evergreen Chorale, and the worship leader of Disciple Mission Church of Denver. 

Hanna is excited to join our congregation, and will officially begin her duties next week.  Please join us in welcoming Hanna and her husband into our community!

Opportunity to Spread the Word

Opportunity to Spread the Word

Would you like to help spread the word about the events and activities of our church without having to go door to door to do it? This task could be for you! Become the marquee manager and recruit volunteers to take a month at a time to change the marquee as needed. Pastor Matt and the staff will supply the words and you see to it that the words get on the marquee in a timely manner. If you are interested in carrying out this ministry to reach out and inform the community, please contact the church office.
