Andy Squyres, Worship Pastor

Andy and his wife Amy have been part of the community at River Life Fellowship since January 1999. In his service to the Body as the worship pastor, Andy is very passionate for the church to live out a life of true worship. Though music and the arts are worthy endeavors in the sacred context, Andy believes that service to others is the greatest expression of our love to God.

Andy feels called to emphasize to the body that we are not defined by the songs we sing or the music we make or the way we break our bread and drink our wine. We our defined by the Love of Christ and find our beginning, middle and end only in His love and all that we do as worship to Him must be motivated by this alone.

When Andy is not making music he is doing what he loves the most, hanging out with Amy, his beautiful wife of 15 years, and their 5 girls and 1 boy!  Amy and Andy have a real heart to encourage daddies and mamas to wholly embrace their little ones with the love of God and to encourage husbands and wives to continually serve and bless one another.

“And so here I am talking to you. I want you to find the poor here, right in your own home first. And begin loving here. Bring that good news to your own people first. And find out about your next door neighbors. Do you know who they are?” ~ mother teresa
