Together

🥳 Celebrating 30 Years of Music and Ministry!

November marks an incredible milestone: the 30th anniversary of Tinsley at NorthPark!

Tinsley's choral conducting career began at age sixteen, and in his three decades here, he has transformed our music program. Under his direction, the choir has performed numerous large works with orchestra and sung internationally in Austria, Italy, and across the UK. He has also composed beautiful works specifically for our choir (in fact, you'll hear one at the end of the service this Sunday!).

Beyond the notes and scores, Tinsley is a truly beloved member of the entire NorthPark family.

Please join us as we thank Tinsley for his dedication and artistry:

Recognition in Worship: 11:00 a.m. worship service

Anniversary Reception: Immediately following the service in the foyer.

Let's celebrate this momentous occasion together!
