Karen Bates
Since 2008 I have had the opportunity to experience the quiet joy and welcoming delight of this church and encourage you to be part of this family.
I love the opportunity to lead music at SmithfieldCarman and I’d love to hear your ideas for new music, choir, organ or piano. Being able to use my gifts to praise God and to serve you gives me the sense that I am in the right place. Encouraging you through music gives me the bonus of helping you come closer to God. I’m excited by leading worship services.
I believe that we are all called to be ministers, and I am pleased to use the gifts God has given me and to encourage others to follow God’s call.
