After serving other churches in Indianapolis and South Carolina, Phil returned to Advent in 2007. In addition to playing for services, he assists Deb Trewartha with the youth, accompanies the choirs, and is our dedicated wedding organist. He also applies his computer skills by recording and posting services on the church website. Phil is active in the American Guild of Organists and other organizations, and has earned many credentials in the areas of piano, theory, organ performance, liturgy, worship and choral music.

The leadership of Advent Lutheran Church consists of lay men and women who give of their time, talent, and treasure to assist with the spiritual needs of the congregation.  Through their oversight of educational programs, fellowship, mission work, and other works of compassion – done in thanksgiving to Christ who has saved us by grace through faith – we pray we share that same message of forgiveness with our neighbors and to the far reaches of the world. 

As Christ’s Church, until he come again, we still must operate in the kingdom of the left and must pay bills, maintain facilities, manage bank accounts and mortgages, and plan for the future on this side of creation.  We are blessed with leaders who share their time, talent and treasure for these needs as well.

We give thanks to God for blessing us with these people and ask that you would pray for His guidance, wisdom, and mercy upon them as they serve our congregation.
