Kathy is passionate about using her gifts as an experienced music educator and her love for worship to instill in our children a desire to know God and hide His Word in their hearts through song. Kathy and her husband, Chris, both grew up at First Dallas and are honored to serve the generations to come. Kathy and Chris have one daughter, Madilynn.
Kids Worship for 1st – 6th grade is a fun and exciting ministry that provides opportunities for our children to use their gifts and talents to glorify our Father, lift up the mighty name of Jesus Christ, and hide biblical truths in their hearts. Scripture clearly teaches us to “sing and make melody in our hearts to the Lord” and to “speak to one another with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs.” We do this by providing Generational Worship opportunities, participating in the First Dallas Christmas Spectacular, a full-scale spring and Christmas musical production, and our Music Summer Camp.
