Nancy first joined Rolling Bay Presbyterian in 1997 as their organist, pianist, and choir accompanist. As Music Director, Nancy has the delightful task of working with volunteers and other staff members to enrich our worship services with vocal and instrumental music. She is especially led to encourage small ensembles and congregational singing as we re-imagine worship in today's challenging circumstances.
When she's not playing music or teaching piano students, Nancy and husband Jim are busy sprucing up their Yurt for Airbnb guests or digging in the garden on their seven acre mini farm. Nancy also got the Sourdough bug during the pandemic and she might be found tending her starter or baking some bread.

She is passionate about sharing God's love with others and discovering what God is up to in the neighborhood.
