John Taylor has been leading music as a choir director and worship leader since high school. He has a real passion for seeing people come together in Jesus' Presence on Sunday mornings. Nothing gets him more pumped than to see kids get excited about classic hymns, and to see seniors get excited about new contemporary choruses. John does not believe that worship is a ‘spectator sport', but that each of us should come each week to church eager to come to God's throne and lift our hearts, voices, and talents to give Him the praise that only He deserves. It's all about HIM, not about us.
John is serving as worship leader in an interim capacity. We welcome John and his wife Diane during their time at SRC
Linda is our Administrative Secretary, beginning in February, 2019. Linda (with her family) moved to Standale more than a few years ago, and joined SRC shortly after. Having grown up here, then in and out over the years, she has enjoyed renewing accquaintences, meeting the next generations, and swapping "remember when" stories. Linda and her husband Bruce spend as much time as possible up north in the summer, and spend winters wishing it was summer!
