Pastor of Arts in Worship - shaunm@valponaz.org

If someone would have told me I would be a pastor in Northwest Indiana growing up as a Southern-California boy, I don't think I would have believed it; following the call of God has turned out to be a great adventure with incredible reward for my family and me. I have been a full-time worship staff member in local churches since 2002 and have served congregations in Denver and Wichita before making our way to the "Vale of Paradise." We have been blessed with two young, energetic boys, Parker and Turner, who fill our days with energy, laughter, and imagination.

My ministry is driven by the passion to help others live out their calling as worshipers and worship leaders--we are all called to make others aware of His presence and the difference He makes in our lives. As the VNC Arts in Worship Department, we are on a journey to live life together and partner in the most creative, relevant congregational expressions of worship God leads us to discover.

Some of the highlights of my journey to this point have included leading worship for General Assembly of the Church of the Nazarene, Nazarene Youth Congress, and partnering with Dr. David Jeremiah's worship staff at arena events. My family and I are incredibly grateful to participate in God's calling with our worship staff and the staff of VNC.
