Intro - Derek Hudson from Vegas

[gracepointkeys]

Hi Forum:

I am Derek Hudson from Grace Point Church in North Las Vegas, NV. We are 1-Year old church plant that God is really blessing and I am honored to be a part of. I work in the Worship and Administration departments.

My passion is the piano. I have an undergrad in Music Ed and a MDiv in Church Music. I currently run a personal piano studio with 35-40 students that I teach on a weekly basis. I love teaching people to use their skills effectively (and of course babysitting a few less-than-stellar performers who parents are attempting to live vicariously through them by simultaneously having them in soccer, piano, ballet, karate and dance...)

I will be posting primarily in the worship service and planning aspects of the site as that is what I do on a weekly basis. I get to work alongside a great guy, Wojo, who is a great friend and peer in the worship dept.

more later when it's not 1am!!!

Hi Derek,

Looks like we are getting quite a few from the Las Vegas area. I lived about half of last year in Las Vegas working at Canyon Ridge Christian Church as an AV Manager and Website Manager. I loved the place.

I wish you well as you help take the love of God to a city in need, and in all reality, what city isn't in need of it?

Hey Derek!

Welcome - glad to have you aboard .. and look forward to you helping our community "launch" out there.

I share your passion for piano ... I've played all my life and it's my primary instrument, as a soloist and as a worship leader.

If you get a chance, take a listen to my "Restless" (and if you like orchestra, "Restless - Orchestrated" on my IndieHeaven page (banner in my signature).

God bless!
FRED
