Trent grew up in the church and accepted Jesus into his life at the age of 6. He has always had a love for music and began playing piano when he was 7 years old. At age 13, he realized that he was not walking close to Jesus, so he rededicated his life to the Lord. He soon began playing and singing for the church’s worship team and in the youth band. A few years later, he felt God calling him into music ministry. It was a Sunday morning that Trent felt the prompting of the Holy Spirit to hand over all his life to the Lord. It was this very Sunday that the Lord sanctified him. Trent is taking classes through the Church of the Nazarene’s Course of Study to become an ordained elder.
