Minister of Music & Spritual Formation
Logan has been with Temple since February 2018 working as their music director. He grew up in the Raleigh area, participating in all kinds of music groups as either a trumpet player or vocalist. Through his church in high school and in college, he developed a love for church music, seeing its potential while singing or playing under great musical mentors. It became a calling during his senior year of college, taking a job as a music director of a small church in Western NC. Logan loves how music can be so diverse in sound, rhythm, and text as he seeks to use music as not only a ministry but as a tool to educate people of all ages. Hobbies include cooking, board games, and making music.
