PASSION
One of my most passionate pursuits through Creative Discipleship is inspiring Creatives to bring their artistic medium to life. I encourage this by helping publish their artistic work for the world to hear and see! This is an aspect of spreading the gospel message, growing in one’s skill, and using the arts for the Kingdom of God. Below you will see and hear the projects I have led various teams through during the recording production process as well as my own original music.
TCA Worship
PURPOSE
I pastored the Worship Ministry of Tri-County Assembly, presently known as New Heights Church in Cincinnati, OH for 9 years and during that time we had a wide variety of Creatives with different age and cultural demographics! Throughout the course of time, we became a family who were driven with a purpose to use music to share the message of Christ. Through songwriting sessions, conferences, outreaches, and worship nights - we decided that producing music to minister to our church, community, and world would be apart of our Worship Culture.
“All That I Am” ft. Carlos Collado
“All that I am” released in 2022 as the last single by TCA Worship, the worship ministry of Tri - County Assembly, presently known as New Heights Church in Cincinnati, OH.
This 6/8 rhythm tells the story of salvation and redemption through ones journey of finding Christ in seasons of trial. It is a reminder that God is not finished with you yet, no matter how dark the road may be. The song drives a fervent call to worship as a reminder that breaking the bondage of sin starts with our Praise!
“All that I Am”, written by Carlos Collado, Luke Baker, and Dominique Horsley , was planned to be the first single for TCA Worship’s full length Album, “Prodigal”, but due to Covid-19, this was the only song that could be recorded and released.

This is My Story
This EP entitled, “This is my Story” was released in 2018 and came from the first song ever sang at our church Tri-County Assembly in 1962, “Blessed Assurance.”
Each song showcases a different storyline of surrender along with various musical elements which gave our writers, singers, and musicians a space to create. “Eres Todopoderoso” is a cover version of the original song written by Danilo Montero, led by former Hispanic Worship Leader, Carlos Collado.
TCA Performing Arts
CREATIVITY
TCA Performing Arts was birthed out of the TCA Worship Ministry. The desire was to showcase the various aspects of worship apart from Music. TCA Performing Arts became a gateway for dancers, poets, artist, actors and actress’ to practice and share their creative gifting.

“The Christmas Journey”
What do you do when you can’t find a modernized Christmas play? You write one yourself, with original music included! In 2017 I showed this script and music to friend and Director, Tiffany Adamson along with friend and Music Producer, Christian Harrison. Together, we built “The Christmas Journey”. As Tiffany creatively added to the script, and directed all aspects of the Production, Christian, also known as “CJ”, worked his musical magic in writing amazing instrumentations to the music and lyrics. In 2019, we partnered with with Samuel Day, Music Producer, Recording Artist, and Cast member (Joseph), who helped us record and produce our first ever Cast Recording of the Christmas Journey featuring his lead male vocals on “Celebrate the King” , a Spoken Word between Mary and Joseph called, “The Argument”, and those various townspeople in “Welcome to Bethlehem”, yea, that was mostly him! The Christmas Journey became an annual Christmas Production for our Church and community and became an open door for various creatives to showcase their God given talents.
“Psalm 10” by Dominque Horsley
One of my favorite devotional activities to “Free Write”, and this is exactly how Psalm 10 was birthed. I opened my bible to simply sing what the Psalmist was trying to convey. The year was 2019 and we were in the middle of the Covid-19 pandemic that subdued our nation. During this time a-lot of racial injustice was taking place in our world and I felt like this Psalm needed to be heard. It bears a lament to the Lord to hear from Heaven and help our land. It also bears a warning to the reader to stay true to Gods word and trust him, despite the evil luring around him.
