Grow In Our Relationship With God and Our Ministry Gifts

Each member is expected to be growing in both their relationship with the Lord and their ministry gifts. We make this a priority in everything we do.

Chad Rose -— Music Pastor

Chad has been at CMC since April of 2006. He grew up as a Pastor's Kid in the Midwest and later earned his BA in music composition at Evangel University in Springfield, MO. It was there that he met Cynthia. He has worked at churches in both the Midwest and Northwest before coming to CMC. Chad is an avid composer and songwriter and just recently released his latest worship CD "Great Is Your Name."

Cynthia Rose -— Music Associate

Cynthia earned her Bachelor of Music in Violin Performance from Evangel University, in Springfield, MO. Since then, she has been performing with the Tacoma Symphony Orchestra as well as teaching violin privately. As the Music Associate at CMC, her areas include the Liberty Bay Orchestra, Alive Kids Worship Ministries, worship team musicians, music librarian "stuff" and whatever else Chad might need done!

Karen Trostad -— Administrative Assistant / Production Director

Although a part of the CMC staff for over twenty-five years, Karen’s active participation in the Music Department goes back even a few years earlier than that! She has been involved in the production of over 30 seasonal presentations at CMC. Karen’s earnest desire is to see those in the audience, as well as those participating on stage, draw closer to the Lord each time they come into our facilities. Married to Merle for 35+ years, they have raised two daughters and are now enjoying two beautiful granddaughters.

Dianne Johnston -— Alive::Ringers / Traditions Music Coordinator

Dianne has been married to Jim Johnston since 1963 when she received her BA in Music from the University of Washington and began teaching piano privately. They have a married son Brent, who lives in this area. Dianne’s energetic love for God allows her to continue teaching piano in her home studio, accompany and sing in choirs and work with soloists and ensembles. Having attended CMC since 1984, Dianne finds it a privilege to be a part of this vital ministry with a focus on honoring God through music.

Jay Montgomery -— Bridge Music Coordinator

We want every member to be passionately in love with Jesus and worship him in both music and lifestyle.  We desire our church to be a place where God is lifted up in exciting worship.
