Lisa Hester - Central Representative
Lisa Hester, Director of Music Ministries and Organist at St. Paul United Methodist Church in Little Rock, is relatively new to the world of handbells, as the St. Paul Ringers are her first handbell choir to direct. Her prior handbell opportunities had been ringing with her home church, Benton First United Methodist Church, during the early 2000's. Currently, Lisa is pursuing certification as a United Methodist Church Musician, attending two week courses twice a year at Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary in Evanston, Illinois. Expected completion is January 2018 with Certification being awarded during Arkansas United Methodist Annual Conference in June 2018. A self-taught organist, Lisa is a lifelong resident of Benton and attended Hendrix College, pursuing a music degree with an emphasis on piano.
Lisa has held other church musician positions in Benton, Bryant, and Little Rock, along with working in community music offerings such as the Saline County Royal Players’ production of “The Sound of Music,” “Godspell” and “Scrooge, the Musical,” for which she was the Music Director/ Accompanist.
