Gwen Reed
Music Minister
Gwen has been a member of the Beverly Presbyterian Church, and its music director for many years. She earned a BS degree in Music Education from West Chester University and has enjoyed working with music in a variety of settings throughout her life. She has had the opportunity to perform as a solo pianist, as well as accompanist, in many local venues and has conducted several local groups throughout the years.
She has two sons, Joe and Scott, and a daughter-in-law, Karen. They, along with her two granddaughters, Kirsten and Hannah are her greatest joys. As the music director here at Beverly Presbyterian Church, it is her responsibility to choose the selections for the choir to rehearse, and present during our church services. In addition to the Sunday morning services, the choir also does a Christmas Cantata in December and special Easter music each spring. The choir welcomes any new members wishing to praise Him with song.
"Please come and sing with us for all our services or for just those in which you feel led to participate. Everyone is always welcomed."
