Jeremy Robinson

Music Minister

Jeremy Robinson has had a passion for music since he was very young.  Starting at the age of four, he began to learn how to play the piano, and quickly developed a love for the piano and music as a whole.  In the fall of 2014, Jeremy began his music ministry at St. Paul AME church in Chicago, where he spent a few months before going on to be the pianist at Unity Temple AME church in Chicago for five years.  During this time, he has grown to know the true value of ministering to others and helping them to be closer to Jesus through songs of worship and praise. In his free time, Jeremy likes to play basketball and video games with his friends and spend time with family.  He plans to pursue a career in Computer Engineering and hopes to bring his music knowledge into the field and implement both of those skills in that career. As the Minister of Music, Jeremy hopes to be able to further minister to you through his music in giving praise and worship to God.
