Ms. Lyn Koonce

Music Director

The Music Ministry at Hinshaw is always in motion. Whether we’re preparing for Easter, or for the Advent season, our choirs and Worship Band are busy. Rehearsals and schedules are a bit lighter in the Summer months, but there’s always fun to be had while making music. If you have visited Hinshaw, you have seen or heard our music. Please feel free ask any one of us questions about what we do. We’d love to have you join us as we make a joyful noise!

I have a BS in music education and hold a valid teaching license.  I have played piano since I was 4 years old and organ since 1976.  After moving to NC in 2009, I was very blessed to find a position at Hinshaw where the music is diverse and the parish, staff and pastor are wonderful, caring, christian people.
