Dennis started leading the singing portion of worship services at Woodland Hills in April 2004, after leading at four churches in the Memphis and Millington areas for almost thirty years. He has conducted song leading classes in many states over the years and has led the singing at many lectureships and workshops. Dennis and his twin brother Chris learned about churches of Christ through a Jimmy Allen campaign in Seattle, Washington, when they were seniors in high school. They had been raised by a Baptist father and Catholic mother and had attended Methodist and Presbyterian churches growing up. Dennis attended Columbia Christian in Portland, Oregon, and Oklahoma Christian in Oklahoma City, where he received his B.A. in Religion/Business. He and his wife Annette have four children: Casey, Amanda, Daniel, and Nicholas. Dennis and Annette love to travel.
