The Music Ministry has grown in size and diversity since Fred Himstedt joined our staff as Minister of Music in 2003. He has continued the tradition of an excellent Sanctuary Choir and Adult Hand Bells while adding an orchestra, a ladies' ensemble, and a men's ensemble. The music program also includes a youth choir and drama team and children's choir program for elementary and older preschool children.

His wife, Cherry, is a Teacher's Aide in the Lake Worth School District. They have four grown children, three sons and one daughter, and four grandchildren.

He is a graduate of Baylor University and Southwestern Seminary.
