Nathan Burns, Minister of Music
Music has always been a part of Nathan’s life. Whether it was singing in the church choir, or the College Street Singers from Snead State Community College, or lead singer for the Singing Ambassadors Quartet in Fayetteville, TN., music has shaped his life to being the music director at Mount Vernon. But his greatest decision was at the age of 9 when he asked Jesus to come into his heart and be the Savior of his life.
Later after college he would go on to marry Laurel Williams of Boaz in December of 1993, and would eventually have 3 children, Wesley, Sarah-Anne, and Sadie. While with the quartet, he was asked to be interim music director in October 2000, and would become bi-vocational music director in March 2001. It is a decision he has never regretted. “God has blessed this church and I’m just glad that He would choose me to be a part of this great church as we continue to grow for His glory.” His favorite verse is Matthew 6:33, “seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added unto you.”
