Lisa Gibbs-Smith, Director of Worship Arts, is a native Washingtonian. She received her training at Oberlin Conservatory and Boston University. In 1999, she was hired to direct the Youth and Children's Choirs. As she followed God's lead, new ensembles were added and her duties were expanded. She now oversees a thriving music ministries program and directs six of the twelve ensembles. Music is a wonderful and unique vehicle for spiritual growth, and Lisa loves to use the study of sacred music to help children and adults deepen their relationship with God and enrich their discipleship walk with Jesus.

Lisa is an active freelance accompanist and enjoys spending her free time cooking, vegetable gardening, reading, and filling the house with friends and family! She is married to Rusty and they have two daughters.
