Roy was classically trained as a flautist, but plays many musical instruments in his ministry of music. With 15 years of previous experience in music ministry or as pastor of worship with the Vineyard Association of Churches, Roy believes that music “lifts up our hearts” and is the “expression of praise to the Glory of God.” His philosophy is that “the theology the church remembers is the theology that the church sings.”
Roy has been a member of the First Church Ministry Team since 2013. In his role as Music Director he leads both the praise band and adult choir. Roy also lends his technology skills to keep the live streaming up and running.
Roy also holds a Ph.D. in Economics from Northeastern University and was ordained to the ministry in the Vineyard Church.
