Joyce is a lifelong Argyle resident and grew up attending Argyle Presbyterian Church, singing in the Junior Choir and, by 7th grade, joining the Adult Choir. Her love of music led her to study organ under Harry McNeil, and after just three lessons, she began serving as a substitute organist in local churches. In 1972, Joyce became APC’s organist and choir director—and the rest is history. As her relationship with Christ has deepened, Joyce finds inspiration in selecting music that speaks of Jesus’s love. Her talent and leadership in worship are a true blessing to the congregation.
