Allen & Diane Kimberlin have been leading the Worship Arts Ministry at FBC since September of 2005. Allen and Diane have two adult sons, Taylor and Travis
Along with his worship leading responsibilities, Allen directs the Sanctuary Choir, Noah Choir, Close Harmony and Praise Ringers. Diane is the pianist for worship and the accompanist for the Sanctuary Choir. Diane also rings with the Praise Ringers.
Allen's love for music is displayed in his desire for all of the Worship Arts Ministry to seek perfection during rehearsal but to love worshiping all the while. Allen believes our worship should 1.) exalt the Savior 2.) encourage fellowship 3.) equip the saints 4.) energize the service and 5.) evangelize the sinner.
As Allen strives to plan exciting and meaningful worship for the church family, his motto continues to be "Making His Praise Glorious!"
My lips will shout for joy when I sing praises to You - I, whom You have redeemed." ~~ Psalm 71:23
"Hear, O Lord, the song of praise that rises from the depths of my being. It wells up from the joy in my heart and flows like a fountain bubbling up over my lips. Receive this song as a token of my love, a sign of my admiration for you. May it be pleasing to your ears. May it bring a smile to your glorious face." ~~ Christopher and Melody Lane
