Music Ministry Director, Jim Gilbert

SPRC, with immense pleasure, would like to introduce to the congregation our new Music Ministry Director, Jim Gilbert who will start on October 2, 2022. Mr. Gilbert will be playing the organ and piano during the traditional service and will lead our choir and bell choir into our future. He also will be leading the Praise Band playing the keyboard and directing the children's choir during the contemporary service. Mr. Gilbert has 25 years experience in technology and music. He majored in voice and minored in technology in college. He has been Worship Coordinator for several churches throughout his career. He most recently played for Saddle Brook First Reformed Church, but upon moving to Whiting he was seeking God's direction for a ministry closer to home. We welcome, Jim to the St. Andrew family and hope you will come out and greet him on October 2.
