Becky Karsten, Director of Music Ministries |
Becky accepted Jesus Christ as her Savior in 1974 at a revival meeting at the Nazarene Church in Cedar Rapids. She was heavily involved in the Youth Group in the Winthrop, Iowa, area as she was growing up -- even preparing and delivering sermons! Music is a special talent and blessing for Becky. She has been involved through the years in singing (both solo and in groups) in school and for her church, and was a member of the "Forever His" christian music trio which traveled throughout northeast Iowa presenting the gospel of Jesus Christ. She has played alto saxophone, clarinet, accordion, guitar, and piano; and she has taken private voice, piano, and directing lessons.
