OUR TEAM
ABOUT ABIDE IN GOD
Abide In God is the husband-and-wife team of Keith and Joy McMinn along with dear friends. The aim of Abide is to lead others to an abiding lifestyle of worship of the one, true, living God through Scripture meditation, music, and prayer with dependence upon the power of the Spirit. Abide in God record projects seek to encourage personal, family, and corporate worship of God. Keith and Joy are delighted to come to your church to lead a night of worship rich in Scripture, song, and exhortation, as well as workshops or seminars on biblical worship.
Keith serves as the Worship Pastor of Bethel Baptist Church where he also directs the Worship Arts Academy founded under his leadership in 2013. Keith is skilled in writing arrangements and orchestrations for both small and large music teams, as well as coaching worship teams and leaders in biblical worship. His desire is to encourage all peoples to know the God of the Bible and worship Him in spirit and truth.
