The music program at Green Acres strives to expose participants and listeners to a broad range of sacred literature. Our music programs are open to all, and we are staffed to provide instruction at all levels. We welcome adults who may wish to refresh their musical skills (or learn new ones). Similarly, we delight in providing for children a foundation in experience of sacred music.
The Director of Musical Ministries at Green Acres is Beth Smallwood. Beth has wide experience as an organist and choir director. She has particular interest in music for children in the church, and has a strong background in the composition and production of musical drama.
