Jerry Hinkson
Pianist

Jerry Hinkson is the man "behind the keys" on much of the music that is displayed for the glory of God on Sunday mornings. His musical skills are perfect for the varied and complicated pieces performed during our worship settings, especially in accompanying the sanctuary choir.
