STEPHANIE GEVING, OFFICE ADMINISTRATOR

LIZ RAIHALA, MUSIC DIRECTOR

Stephanie has been working at New Life since July 2022. Prior to that she was being equipped by God to do this job to the best of her ability. She has prior Church Secretary experience and loves to refer to herself as "the paperwork girl" since she truly enjoys paperwork!

Liz has extensive experience in multiple church backgrounds, serving as pianist, organist, vocalist, praise and worship leader and music director. She also has a private music studio where she teaches piano and voice. She especially likes to bridge old and new music styles as she is quite experienced in both the classical hymn style of worship and the contemporary worship band style of worship, both of which bring glory to God and reach a diverse group of people.
