Worship Leader and Office Administrator

“ You don’t choose music, music chooses you", was a quote from a college professor of Chandria’s. She came to know Christ at an early age and baptized later in San Antonio, TX. A graduate of Rutgers University, her love for music is evident as she leads the worship team in praise and worship with both classic hymns and modern Christian selections.
