In the Bible there are more than 500 accounts of songs,
instruments, psalms, music, and musicians! Forty-four of the sixty-six books of
the Bible contain actual hymns and songs.
Music plays a very important role in
the life of the church. Music is a universal language, a gift from God. It
transcends cultures, races, denominations, and socio-economic barriers. There is
so much we can do through the power of music that is difficult or impossible to
do otherwise. Christian music provides opportunities for healing, unity, comfort,
Christian education, joy, prayer,
evangelism, and fellowship.
The Music Ministry here at St. Paul's United
Methodist Church seeks to provide these opportunities through a variety of styles of
music. Our goal is to give glory and honor to our Lord and Savior
Jesus Christ.
The music programs at St. Paul's are open to everyone,
regardless of previous experience.
Anyone interested in music, from professional singers to those who simply love
music, will find a place to share their interests and talents. Everyone has a
gift to share!
Rob comes to our church as the result of a nation-wide search for a music director.
He started with us on October 1, 2007, and has been a blessing
to our music program. Shortly after he arrived he developed an
Advent pageant and a youth orchestra. That is a sampling of
the creative and innovative thinking he brings to our church.
He is equally at ease with young and experienced musicians.
Rob is a man of God who loves the Lord and ministers through music.
He and his wife Kathleen live in Fairfax with their two children, Marie and Daniel.
If you are interested in vocal, bell, or instrumental music, I know Rob would personally welcome you into the fold!
