Rev. Rozanna Vancil Goocey

As minister of music since June 2019, Rozanna directs the choral program and supervises the church-wide music ministry, with major responsibilities for worship. An accomplished organist and soloist as well as conductor, she brings varied experience leading music ministries at Protestant churches in North Carolina and Texas.
