I am a 1984 graduate of Lincoln Christian University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Sacred Music. Paul and I have been married for 27 wonderful years. New Life Christian Church has been my home church since 1971, when my dad, Robert M. Allen, accepted the ministry here. My parents ministered at this church for 25 years, and now my husband and I have ministered here for 23 years. I’ve been a musician my entire life, well, at least since I was old enough to hold a hairbrush in my hand as a “microphone.” During my years at LCU, I traveled performing concerts with Dayspring, Gloria Choir, and Chorale. After college, I performed solo concerts at churches throughout Northwest Indiana, and traveled with The Continental Singers performing concerts all across the United States and throughout Europe. I’ve directed choirs of all ages – children, teens, adults – and especially enjoy directing and performing in our Living Christmas Tree productions. I’m honored to carry on my mother’s legacy of keeping music alive in our church and making it an integral part of the worship experience.
