OUR STAFF
Brenton Offenback graduated from Andrews University with a Bachelor’s degree in Music Education in 2009 and with a Master’s degree in Organ Performance and Choral Conducting in 2014, studying under Dr. Kenneth Logan and Stephen Zork.
As a child, Brenton pretended to play the organ on the backs of pew benches, always admiring the sound that came from those mysterious pipes. As a high school freshman, Brenton finally built up the courage to ask the church organist if he could play. With the promise of a free organ method book for playing four times, he obtained the book very quickly. And thus started his long love and profession of the organ.
Since then, Brenton has played in numerous churches: the Chapel Hill Methodist Church, Sodus, MI; Forest Lake Seventh-Day Adventist Church, Apopka, FL; Knowels Chapel of Rollins College, Winter Park, FL; Zion United Church of Christ, Baroda, MI; Village Seventh-Day Adventist Church, Berrien Springs, MI; and now at the First Congregational Church of St. Joeseph, MI.
Brenton and his wife, Rachelle, are blessed with two kids; Kayleigh and Emma, and two dogs; Copper and Penny.
Brenton has been FCC’s Director of Music Ministry since 2017. Brenton also directs the Chancel Choir (2025).
