I confess Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, the incarnate Word through whom all creation is redeemed and reconciled. Rooted in his life, death, and resurrection, my faith is nourished by Sacred Scripture, given living expression in Sacred Tradition, and sustained through the sacramental life of the Church.
I affirm the foundational teachings of the Roman Catholic Church, including the centrality of the Holy Trinity, the saving work of Christ, the authority of Scripture and Tradition, and the grace communicated through the Sacraments, especially Holy Baptism and the Holy Eucharist. I hold a deep reverence for the Church’s liturgical life and its continuity across the ages, trusting that through these means God forms and sanctifies the faithful.
At the same time, my vocational journey has unfolded across Anglican and Reformed communities, where I have served in ministry and music leadership. From the Anglican tradition, I have been shaped by a liturgical and theological ethos that holds together Scripture, Tradition, and Reason, and by a rich sacramental and choral heritage. From the Reformed tradition, I have received a deep appreciation for the primacy of the Word, the centrality of congregational participation, and a call to faithful discipleship in daily life. These experiences have broadened my understanding of the Church and strengthened my commitment to the unity of the Body of Christ.
My early formation in both Roman Catholic and Methodist contexts instilled in me a lasting love for liturgy, sacrament, grace, and holiness. Together, these influences continue to inform my approach to ministry, fostering a spirit that is both rooted and hospitable, grounded in tradition while attentive to the work of the Spirit in diverse communities.
Music has been both the language and the vessel of my faith. The chant and motet traditions of the Catholic Church, the vitality of congregational song in Methodist worship, and the breadth of musical expression within Anglican and Reformed settings have each shaped my understanding of worship. I believe that sacred music, when offered with reverence and integrity, participates in the Church’s prayer, giving voice to the praise of God and the formation of the faithful. As the psalmist proclaims, “Sing to the Lord a new song” (Psalm 96:1), so the Church is continually called to offer its song, drawing from the fullness of its musical inheritance.
In all things, I seek to live and serve as one formed by the grace of God, nourished by the sacraments, attentive to the Word, and guided by the Holy Spirit, for the glory of God and the building up of the Church.
