BONNIE CLAUSEN - WORSHIP LEADER
Bonnie has been making a joyful noise in church ever since she was a child, singing solo or in choirs, often playing piano or guitar. Others noticed her talent even as a young teen, but she knew in her heart that her songs were reserved for praising and serving the Lord.
In 2024, Bonnie and her husband Derek started attending Shoreline Full Gospel Fellowship. They quickly fell in love with the church and became members. That summer Bonnie joined the worship team on the piano. Later she became a substitute worship leader. The next year, she sensed the Lord urging her to lead worship full-time.
Bonnie delights in worshiping God. She understands how worship and praise prepare our hearts to hear the Word of God. Each week she prays before choosing her songs and the Scriptures. Then she leads the congregation in singing to Him, not just about Him.
Bonnie fell in love with us, and we've fallen in love with Bonnie and her clear love for Jesus.
