Elizabeth is blessed to have been part of a Christian family and member of a PCA church her whole life. She was born in Omaha, Nebraska and was baptized in the PCA church there. In 1993, her family moved to Jinan, China where they lived for two years while her father taught English at Shan Dong University. In 1995, her family moved back to the states, took up residence in Fort Worth, Texas and began attending Fort Worth Presbyterian Church. Elizabeth started at Texas Christian University in 2006 where she earned both Bachelor of Music and Master of Music in Theory and Composition. In 2011, she married Jerry after they had both attended the same church for 16 years. They moved to GCPC at the beginning of 2014 so Elizabeth could serve in the music ministry. They were blessed with their first child, Alice, later that year.
In addition to serving in the music ministry at GCPC, Elizabeth teaches music theory and choir at Travis Academy of Fine Arts, teaches private music lessons, and is an active composer. She and a friend have also started an independent music publishing firm, EM Music Publishing, which focuses on providing pedagogical materials for music teachers and students.
