Ken Barker
Worship Specialist
In my young adult years I enjoyed working at Word Music and Lifeway Worship, creating four hymnals along the way, and editing, writing, arranging, and producing much choral and instrumental music for the church. Our very own Goodlettsville Church has in its pews the first of those four hymnals I was honored to be a part of. Also almost forty years ago I married Brenda, and together we adopted eleven beautiful children from six different countries! We are a "Little U.N.," and I have been called the "father of many nations!" We are also proud of our four incredible grandchildren!
Now in my middle adult years I am happy and blessed to serve Goodlettsville Church administrating the worship and music area, playing piano, and directing the choir. Our church is filled with talented people, and I desire to see all who are musically gifted use their abilities to serve our Lord Jesus and His Kingdom. I also work part-time for a ministry staffing company, enjoy having a small music company, and getting the word out about the origin of our family through a cinematic book I wrote called "Coming Home."
