Dennis Adams - Choir Director

Dennis is a lifelong member of Zion United Methodist Church, following his grandparents and parents in membership and service. He assumed the duties of choir director over 40 years ago with his extensive knowledge of music (4 years of piano lessons) and the need for someone to step in after the previous director left to pursue his career in music. He has grown and continues to grow in knowledge and service with experience and the support of many dedicated and talented choir members.
Dennis and his wife Debbie have two children, Aprile and Alan, and 4 grandchildren, Abigail, Lakin, Averi, and Amos, all of whom are members of Zion. Besides music he enjoys whitewater rafting, ballroom dance, golf, cruising, and fishing. |
