Andrew has been our Church Accompanist since August 2012, and bless his heart, he’s been a true gift to our congregation. From the moment he starts playing the piano, you know the Holy Spirit is right there with him. Whether he’s leading our Sunday morning services, playing piano for the Sounds of Praise and Sounds of Grace choirs, or directing the Woman's Choir, Andrew’s musical talents are a testament to his dedication and love for the Lord.
 Hailing from the rolling hills of West Virginia, Andrew has been making music for over 30 years. He studied piano at Alderson-Broaddus College, and we’re pretty sure those lessons involved a few heavenly interventions.
 During the week, Andrew trades his piano keys for a role as a Multidisciplinary Team Facilitator at Kids Hub Child Advocacy Center, where he’s making a difference in the lives of children. His work is a reminder that true service to others happens both in the church and beyond its walls. We’re grateful for his unwavering faith, talent, and the way he shares his gifts with us every week.

Mike came to work at FBC in November, 1994 and has been a member since 1997. He and his wife, Carolyn, have one son, Shelby.
