Worship Director – Jodi Sewell
Jodi Sewell and her husband Lance have two school age children, Evie and Isaac. Music has always been a big part of Jodi’s life, as her father is a music minister as well, currently serving in a church in Jacksonville, Florida. She received a degree in Vocal Performance with a minor in Piano at Belmont University in Nashville, Tennessee. She has participated in and led worship, all over the south, most recently in Key West, Florida and Baton Rouge, Louisiana, as well as several locations throughout Central Florida. She is also a vocal instructor who teaches from her home and has often been sought out by area music ministers to improve the vocal quality of their vocalists and choirs. Jodi also has been involved with community theater projects, church drama and musical theater. Jodi brings a wealth of knowledge and talent to River of Life, but none so vital as her deep love of worship. Jodi says, “I believe that God desires to have an intimate, ongoing relationship with all of His creation. It is His mercy and love that saves us through the death and resurrection of his son Jesus. God has blessed me so richly and touched me so deeply that I cannot help but worship Him!” Jodi is always looking for talented singers and musicians to join our worship team. If you have a muscial or can play an instrument, please email Jodi at jodi@riverpca.org
