Aaron is a graduate from Judson University in Elgin, Illinois where he earned his Bachelors degree in Worship Arts.  Aaron is passionate about worship and music and his goal is to create a space that whether you’re in the congregation or serving on the worship team, you can have the opportunity and freedom to encounter God.  Aaron believes that worship should be an essential part in everyday life, not just inside the walls of the church. God has given us all unique gifts and talents and they should be used as joyful offerings back to God.  One of Aaron’s favorite passages of scripture is taken from Romans 8:28-30.
