Our New Organist
We are delighted to announce that Mr. Robert (Bob) Kintner will be joining the staff of Lake Toxaway United Methodist Church as our new organist and music leader.
Bob was ordained a minister in the Disciples of Christ denomination, but much of his music career has been with a large Disciples of Christ congregation in Lexington, KY. He holds graduate degrees in ministry, church music and organ performance. His lifelong interest and research have focused on the role of congregational singing, which he finds to be the most important musical element of Christian worship.
Bob and his now deceased wife “retired” to Hendersonville several years ago, but he has continued to offer his musical talents to several congregations on an interim basis. When Bob read the announcement of our organist search, he felt a door had been “opened to him to continue serving our Risen Lord.” When Bob shared his organist talents with several members of our congregation a few weeks ago, all were amazed at his musicianship. He has also offered to oversee some modifications to our Allen organ to unleash many of its unused capabilities.
Bob is the proud father of three sons, grandfather to six and great-grandfather to two grandsons.
In addition to welcoming Bob, we want to thank Charlotte Gilmore and Kathy Palmer, who have so generously played for us over the past several months while our search was underway.
When you are able, please introduce yourself to Bob and welcome him into our church home.
