St. Andrew’s Hymn Competition announces the winning entry, submitted by Matt Andrews. This was chosen from more than 60 hymn tunes submitted from around the world; the judging committee consisted of Jackie Gilpin, Mary Kay Horner, Joel Nelson, Scott Robertson, and Robert Schroeder. This completes the marriage of the tune (named Emily) with the text by Adrian Low.
Matt Andrews serves as associate pastor at the First Baptist Church of Glendale, California. A Samford University graduate, he holds a Master of Divinity degree from George W. Truett Theological Seminary at Baylor University in Waco, Texas. He previously served as minister of music and youth at First Baptist Church of Rosebud, Texas, as well as the worship and chapel ministry associate in the Baylor University Spiritual Life Department.
The hymn debuts on St. Andrew’s Sunday, November 25, as St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church, Kansas City, Missouri, begins its centennial year.
