Parish Musician & Hymnologist
Sander began serving as Parish Musician in September 2022. He has previously led worship in Presbyterian, Reformed/Christian Reformed, and Lutheran settings, but is now excited to call the Episcopal tradition home. Having loved music from a young age, Sander began piano lessons at age 5 and organ at age 12, and has been continuously learning and participating in choirs and other collaborative musical environments ever since. In addition, Sander enjoys composing when he gets the chance, especially for church settings. He serves on the board of the Holland chapter of the American Guild of Organists and is a member of the Association of Lutheran Church Musicians. Sander graduated from Hope College in 2024 with a degree in Philosophy and Classical Studies, during which he served in leadership roles for the Chapel Choir and as a student accompanist for the music and dance departments.
