Pianist
Our pianist, Jason Joyce, came to know the Lord when he was 5 years old. He started to play the piano a year later as a way to work through the grief and sadness that followed a car accident that claimed the life of his 15 year old brother. He taught himself to play "Jesus Loves Me" with one finger on the keys and soon began taking lessons. God gifted him with the ability, desire to play and the patience of a great teacher. Jason is forever grateful to God for this outlet and for the people who have helped him along the way.
