Marnie Kruse
CHILDREN’S Choir Director

Marnie and her husband, Scott, joined our church in 1995 and immediately they both joined the Senior Choir. They met in Ohio at college as a soprano and tenor in the Denison Singers!  It wasn’t long before we found out that Marnie was a children’s music teacher and we recruited and hired her to be our Cherub Choir Director. She is a wonderful, gentle teacher who believes that no child is too young to learn music theory so our choir participants learn not only proper voice technique, but also how to read music and sound out notes. Using the piano, chimes and other musical instruments, the Cherub Choir always delights when they perform and reflect the love of music that Marnie instills in them. Marnie is currently in year 25 as SCC's Cherub Choir Director!  She is also a preschool special educator, having returned to school to earn her second masters at SCSU in 2023.  Marnie and Scott have three children; Ben, Ryan and Maggie, all of who are wonderful musicians in their own right!
