Worship Arts Leadership

Michelle Russell – Worship Arts Minister, Intermediate/Advanced Tap Lead Teacher

"God is spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.” John 4:24

God began teaching me about His creativity when I was three years old as I started my first dance class in Cleveland, Ohio. Over many years of learning tap, jazz, acrobats and ballet I discovered that dance was a way to bring joy to others and to help them. I continued to learn and teach dance as a teen and as a student at Michigan State University. When I met Jesus at the age of 20, the first thing He taught me was how to pour out my heart to him in worship. Even though I was a music major in college at that time, I experienced a whole new aspect of music as I played my flute to Him and for Him. God healed my soul. I became a musical missionary for several years and then became a Registered Music Therapist.

I have been married to Robert, who is lead pastor of Celebration Church, for 28 years and we have three children, David, Jonathan and Abbie. All of the Russell family, including Robert, have danced at Celebration Church at different times over the years. When Celebration Church Dance Ministry/ Worship Arts Ministry began in 2003, I was excited to get my feet tapping again for Jesus. I have taught dance for over 20 years and continue to learn joyful ways to express my gratitude to the Lord for all that He has done for me.

I also have the honor of being the Worship Arts Minister this year. It is a constant joy and challenge to serve in this incredible ministry and to see the Holy Spirit transform our staff, students and their families.

The most important thing about me is that Jesus is the love of my life. I feel close to Him when I play my flute in worship and when I dance and long to teach others the joy of worshiping Him in Spirit and in truth. Music, dance, art and drama are very important in my life for communicating with God, displaying His creativity, sharing Jesus with others, expressing joy & pain, fighting spiritual battles, serving others, connecting with other believers and staying physically strong. I have recently returned to my career as a Music Therapist and have been working with Alzheimer’s patients in an assisted living center. It is so beautiful to bring my love of music, dance and Jesus to all ages and watch God transform people.

Tapping for Jesus,

Michelle Russell

Karen Grisenti - Worship Arts Coordinator

Since 2005 our family has been a part of Worship Arts at Celebration. All of our children, as well as my husband and myself, have enjoyed dance classes, fellowship, and discipleship through WAM. The Lord has used WAM to bless our family, and I am excited to be a part of what He is doing through this special ministry.

My family moved to Kingsport when I was 15, and the Lord immediately plugged me into a group of friends and a church where I came to know Jesus as my Savior. After college I met my husband while serving with Youth with Mission for 2 years. We have been part of Celebration Church since 2002 and help with the Family Ministry.

For the past 16 years I have had the privilege of home schooling our children. We have been a part of several co-ops, where I have taught a variety of classes. My current favorite is Plutarch because it is so unexpectedly enjoyable. I have one son and seven daughters, ranging in age from 22 to 6. We have a small farm with dairy goats and chickens. It’s seldom quiet and never dull at our house!

As a mother, above all else I desire for my children to know the Lord personally and to love Him passionately. Through WAM I see them worshipping, hearing from the Lord, being encouraged and shown truth by faithful lovers of Jesus. I am honored to serve in this place where the Lord is growing up worshippers of Him.

Taylor Royston - Administrative Assistant, Advanced Ballet, Contemporary, Acro Dance, & Dance In Worship Lead Teacher

I am so excited to be apart of the Worship Arts team at Celebration! I began dance at the age of 3 and have been dancing ever since. Types of dance I have studied include ballet, tap, jazz, hiphop, contemporary, & tumbling. I have done studio dance my whole life, but when I began college, I was presented with the opportunity to be a part of the ETSU dance team throughout my four years as a student. Now that I have graduated from ETSU, I am ready to start the next chapter in my life. I am so thankful that the Lord has led me to Worship Arts and is allowing me to continue to use my love for dance as an expression of love for Him. Throughout all my life, be it good times or bad, dance has always been there for me. Dance has allowed me to express thoughts, feelings, and emotions in ways words would not allow. For me, dance is a passion and I am happy to be able to share that passion with everyone and use my talent to worship the Lord. I am eager to see how He allows us to grow in dance and in worship.

Hannah Voudrie - Communications Coordinator,

As someone who has been a part of this ministry since I was 8, I have loved being a part of the Leadership Team as Media/Marketing/Communications Coordinator. I am also on staff at Celebration as the Digital Media Manager.

In my free time, I love to worship, sing, song write, play with my nieces, and travel.

It has always been my desire to learn how to better use the arts to worship God to the fullest, whether with dance, music, singing or art. I’m honored that I get to share my passions with others through the Worship Arts MInistry!

Worship Arts Teachers

Austin Blythe - Private Voice, Piano, & Ukulele Lead Teacher

Hi! I'm Austin Blythe. I'm a 24 year old musician and singer-songwriter! I love the Lord and was saved at the age of eight. I currently help teach the children's choir program at the church I grew up in and am very excited to be a part of the Celebration Worship Arts Ministry.

I am a classically trained pianist, and I first started playing when I was six years old. I was accepted into ETSU on a full ride for classical piano. I graduated with a degree in piano performance and business marketing. After college I pivoted, deciding I wanted to write and sing pop music! I was under vocal instructors for five years through high school and college, and I sang in the ETSU advanced choir, Chorale, and acapella group, the Swashbucklers. Along the way, singing has become my favourite instrument and what I practice the most! 

Back in elementary and middle school, I took guitar lessons for about 3 years and have been playing since. Then, through my guitar playing and music theory background, I taught myself ukulele and absolutely love it. Ukulele is my favourite instrument to sing with, and I play it more than I do piano these days. And finally, I took a huge interest in music theory throughout high school and won nationals for academic music theory senior year. I will teach a small bit of music theory during our lessons; as this is what will really allow you to understand music at a deeper level, teach yourself new instruments, and maybe even create your own music!

Sarah Brown - Pre Dance Assistant Teacher

Hello. My name is Sarah. A little about me: I am 33 and have been blessed with an amazing family with my husband and puppies. My husband and I are high school sweethearts and God definitely answered my prayers with him. We are lucky enough that we grew up together and grow together every day. 

I grew up dancing. As a child I danced like no one was watching no matter where I was. Dance gave me so much joy. As a teenager I began dancing in a studio. My passion and joy only grew. As an adult life happened and I no longer danced in a studio but could still be found dancing. I am thankful for this passion and owe it all to God.

“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.”

God gave me this passion for a reason. I am so excited to be able to spread the word of God and share the pure joy of worship through Worship Arts Ministry.

Kayla Davis - Interpretive Movement Lead Teacher

My name is Kayla Davis and I am 17 years old. I have had a passion for worshiping the Lord through Interpretive Movement ever since I was four years old. My family attended a church in Charleston SC for many years until we moved. At that church there was a worship arts ministry and Interpretive Movement was one of their ministries. My two older sisters and my mother were on the team and I saw how they loved to worship the Lord through IM. I knew that someday I would be beside them praising the Lord. When I was five I signed up for the team and was doing what I loved. I was with the IM team for four years before my family moved.

I have a love for worshiping the Lord through IM and I am excited to teach others how. As hobbies I like to read, paint, be out in nature, and I love to write, but my passion is to teach others to praise the Lord through Interpretive Movement.

Lance Godsey - Percussion Lead Teacher

I am so excited and humbled to, again, be leading the Percussion Class this year for the 2023-2024 class! As a child I would tap and drum with my fingers on anything in the house that made noise, constantly drawing my Mom’s attention. I played drums at Avoca Elementary, and I also sang in the Euclid Ave. Baptist Church Youth Choir from 12 years old till graduation from East HS.  I then joined the Navy and sang in the boot camp choir as well. I have sung in the Celebration Choir since 2006 and have always been drawn to percussion in any music genre but focus on contemporary Christian music. I am blessed with natural rhythm and have gained an education in music through numerous choirs, and worship bands I’ve sang with. On a mission trip to South Africa in 2022 the Lord introduced to a deeper understanding of percussion. I am learning to play a full drum kit at home and taking lessons. I was a guest for a few months at last year’s percussion class in 2022. I became the Lead Teacher for the 2022-2023 class, with the help of Ethan Doherty and Dave Whaley, Milligan Univ. Because drums and percussion play such a vital role in bringing music together, I think it is a great instrument to teach young worshippers!

Reagan Hamelryck- 3D Art Lead Teacher

My name is Reagan Hamelryck, and I am so excited to be a part of the Worship Arts staff this year! This past year I was the art teacher for a local middle school teaching 5th through 8th grade art classes. I have a bachelors in studio art from ETSU with a minor in education, and I recently just graduated with my Master’s of arts in teaching from ETSU. As well as teaching art for the  Washington County school system I have also taught several art classes for summer camps at Celebration Church and classical conversations homeschooling. In college, I focused my art career in ceramics and enjoyed making functional serving vessels. As an Appalachian artist, I hope to capture the beauty of my community in every work of art I create. Most of my work revolves around the theme of human connectedness. It is my belief that our world can be a dark place at times. Art is my tiny contribution to bringing light back in. My greatest sense of joy comes from my knowledge of my Creator. My goal is to glorify him in every aspect of my life and my hope is that my art reflects that. I love that art is a powerful form of communication that gives people a chance to share their voice in times when words may fail and as a teacher, I hope to give my students the tools they need in order to share their voice. I am a firm believer that everyone can develop art skills through practice and I try to show my students that their abilities are connected to their effort.

 I am 23 years old and I grew up in Bristol Tennessee. I attended Celebration Church for 13 years. In college, I met my fiance and started attending Bridwell Heights Presbyterian with his family. I have been a part of Bridwell Heights for about 5 years now. Growing up in church I always knew the gospel and thought I was saved; however, it wasn’t until my freshman year of college when I set off on a goal to read the entire Bible that God changed my heart. During this year God revealed to me who He was, who I am, and why I so desperately needed the gospel. That year God saved me. I am getting married this summer to Cole Hamelryck and will be moving to Bluff City. I am so thankful God opened the doors for me to be a part of the Worship Arts Ministry in this new season of my life, and I look forward to teaching my students how we, as artists, can glorify the greatest artist in all that we make.

Jaime Harper - Beginner and Intermediate Worship Flags Lead Teacher 

Hello ladies and gentlemen, I am Jaime Harper, otherwise known as JOY or SUNSHINE! I began ballet at the precious age of 3 at Dancers Academy.  A few years of ballet proved to be a beautiful start to a life filled with dance. Adding tap and jazz to ballet classes with performances up until the age of 14.  Dance gave me a life of balance and grace.  I then began a Color Guard journey finding that all of the years of dance best prepared me for this sport of the arts. Performing and teaching Color Guard for over 30 years has required a strong dance background. 

Our heavenly father blessed me with my husband, Drew, and our daughter Ella. We moved to Kingsport, TN in April of 2017 and discovered the beautiful umbrella of blessings with Celebration Church and Worship Arts.  I look forward to another year with our Worship Arts Family as we serve and grow together!  

“I firmly believe that our Lord and Savior has written each of our life stories with a permanent marker, for HE doesn’t make mistakes, HE is perfect, HE is LOVE, HE is Grace, HE is our forever friend!

My favorite verse is the end of Nehemiah 8:10”For the JOY of the Lord is my strength.”  

My favorite quote by Cinderella”Have Courage and Be Kind.”

Jamie Henson -Tap Basics Lead Teacher

I started dancing with Academy of Dance Arts when I was 6 years old taking tap, jazz, and ballet. Tap was always my favorite because I loved making music with my feet! I continued dancing until I was a junior in high school and went on to take a couple of advanced tap classes while attending ETSU. At that point life took over, and I hung up my dancing shoes for a while to pursue a career in Organizational Training and Education.

In 2013, God led me and my family to Celebration Church where we not only found our amazing church family; we also found an outlet for worship through the arts. I was blessed to find tap again, taking Tap 2 and 3 and getting the opportunity to praise Him through dance. Tapping is like riding a bicycle- once I put the shoes on, my feet remembered what to do.

I am so excited to get my first experience TEACHING tap this year! While my “day job” has led me to teach and train many students of all ages over the years, the chance to teach worship and praise through tap is an incredible opportunity! As the instructor for Adult Tap, I am hoping to find others who want to make music with their feet with me. We are never too old!

 Trace Odom - Private Voice Teacher

Hi, my name is Trace Odom and I teach private voice lessons with the Worship Arts Ministry at Celebration. 

I met my husband, who is from Kingsport, when I was serving at a church in Fayetteville, North Carolina while he was serving in the United States Air Force. God used his position to take us to many different states and countries over the past 18 years. 

When he retired from the military, God led us back here to his hometown. We began searching for the right church home for our family. We jumped in with the play, “Way of the Broken,” in which I played the part of Martha and my husband played the Potter. We love that the church’s heart is to reclaim the arts for glorifying Christ. Celebration has been our church home ever since then.

I love helping people worship the Lord through song as they bring the best out in their voices whether they are a congregational singer who has always felt insecure or an experienced vocalist that is just wanting to give their highest excellence with the voice God has given them. Voice was my principal in both my undergrad and graduate studies. I have a Bachelor of Arts in Music from Palm Beach Atlantic University and a Master’s in Music with a Religious Education minor from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary.

My favorite scripture to express what I feel is the heart of ministry is Ephesians 4:12-13 “… to prepare God’s people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.”

I am constantly looking to find places where the Lord might use me for His good, this is one of the next opportunities. 

Jennifer Ogden - Pre-Dance Lead Teacher

I was born and raised in El Paso, Texas, and moved to the Tri-Cities area in 2017. I have been happily married to my husband Mark for over 20 years, and we have four amazing children! I started taking ballet at the age of 3 at Barbara Driscoll's School of Ballet. When I was a little older, I trained with Ann Van Norman Gavit at The Ballet Studio and later was trained in both ballet and modern dance as a member of the modern dance company at International Dance Theatre. I was also part of a yearly dance program called The Holiday Gift Program. Our company would take our performances to those who could not attend at a theater, such as nursing home residents and women living at the shelter for battered women. For a short time, I was part of a liturgical dance group that spread the gospel through dance. That was a life-changing experience for me.

Nancy Strickler - Pre Dance Lead Teacher

I am very excited to have the opportunity to work with the Worship Arts program and its students. I am especially thankful to be back working in the arts after a 10-year hiatus. I am a Kingsport native and began my journey in the arts at 5 years old taking ballet and tap classes. I continued my dance experience taking classes and performing with the Academy of Dance Arts, Studio One, Centre for the Performing Arts, Kingsport InterCity Ballet Company, and Hannah’s School of dance. I have experience with ballet, tap, jazz and competition dance. The highlight of my time in the arts is expanding my dance skills through 15 years of performing and teaching color guard (flags, rifles, and sabres) at a variety of award-winning high school and independent programs.

Although the arts have been a big part of my life, my favorite title is “Aunt” and I am proud to be an aunt to 1 niece and 7 nephews, many of whom I’ve been able to watch grow through Celebration’s Worship Arts Program. During the day, I get the privilege of providing therapy to help children heal from the trauma they’ve experienced in their lives, and on the weekends, you will often find me working in Celebration’s nursery loving on your infants, toddlers, and preschoolers.

My desire in teaching is to share with your students a love for movement and performing, using it to express emotion in healthy ways and worship God with all of themselves while sharing it with others.

Ava Walker - Art Lead Teacher

My name is Ava Walker, and I am a retired art teacher. In addition to teaching for over 21 years in the

Johnson City School System, I have also taught art at St. Paul’s Day School, and ETSU. When I retired

from teaching in the public school system, God opened a new door for me here at Celebration. At that

time, the Worship Arts Ministry was in its early stages, and I was asked to teach an art class. It has been

a special blessing for me because I love teaching, and I love my students. My husband, Ray and I began attending Celebration when we were still meeting at Meadowview. We remember the excitement everyone felt when we finally moved into a building of our own. My oldest grandson was baptized in the old worship center, now known as the Apex. We have witnessed many changes and seen our congregation grow from a few attendees to the huge congregation we have now, and we have watched the Worship Arts Ministry develop into a thriving program that brings so many young people to know Christ. We are anxious to see what great things God has in store for our church next.
