Staff & LeadershipAs a small church our needs
for staff are modest. While few in number, our group is huge in
generosity, in heart and most especially in talent. As a congregation
we have much for which to be grateful.
Worship Pianist and Church Music Facilitator
Nederland
Community Presbyterian Church has a recent history of fine music both
as part of its Sunday worship as well as through the concert series it
houses through the Mountain Community Music and Arts Association. We're pleased to have an accompanist who can continue to develop our music
program.
For three years, John McDowell was a chef--apprentice to Ruedi Elsener--at the Red Lion Inn. He served two years as music director at St Martin de Porres Catholic Church, completed a baccalaureate degree in biology and worked as a staff scientist at ConocoPhillips. Growing a happy family, he now teaches piano to children and works as a carpenter. In some places he might be known as a polymath.
Our worship
is enhanced by John's broad background in various music forms,
his ability to improvise and his enthusiasm for creating integrity to
the flow of the service. We are also especially pleased that his wife Christian
and family join us on Sunday mornings.
