Rebecca Lake

Music Director

Since learning her first 2 guitar chords, Rebecca has sought to serve the Lord through music. Originally from East Nashville, she moved to Kingston Springs at the age of 15 and quickly became involved with the youth praise and worship team at Westview Baptist Church. Also on the team was a certain young bass player who later became her husband, Desmond Lake. They have served the Lord through music together for over 20 years both in the local church setting and as guest musicians for special events.

Rebecca views congregational worship as a weekly opportunity to gather together at the throne of God, awed by His holiness and enraptured by His grace. It is her desire to not only facilitate the joyful Sunday singing of the saints, but also a deeply Biblical understanding of worship that carries into the everyday life between Sundays.

Rebecca and Desmond have two daughters, Evelyn (10) and Emma Rose (9), and make their home in Kingston Springs. Rebecca homeschools, is recognized by the extended family as the official family cake baker and is beginning to dabble in gardening. The whole family loves music, nature, and travel.
