Making music to the Glory of God has been her life’s ambition. Carla came to know Christ as her personal savior at age 8 1/2. She has enjoyed playing piano, keyboard and organ in church since age 11 and has taught since age 13. Her education includes studying piano for two years with Dr Helen Wright, a Julliard graduate, while at Southeastern Bible College. She has a Sacred Music minor from Grand Rapids School of Bible and Music (now Cornerstone University). Her hobbies include spending time with her husband, Rev. Jerry VanProoyen and their six grandchildren. Paddle boarding and family history are also favorite hobbies. Welcome back to FPC Carla!

Sandy Bode

Organist
Sandy Bode grew up in Grand Rapids, Michigan.  She loved piano and organ music at a young age.  Thanks to her parents, she had the best teachers the city had to offer, first for piano and later the organ.  She loves classical and traditional music for worship and has accompanied many choirs, instrumentalists and soloists over the years.  The camaraderie of working with fellow musicians in praising God has been a source of both inspiration and friendship. Sandy is also a registered nurse and she and her husband Don, have raised 5 children on a local dairy farm. The pipe organ at First Presbyterian Church is a wonderful instrument and she values the opportunity to serve the congregation in worship with the variety of beautiful sounds it has to offer.
