Lloyd came to our staff in the summer 2021 as we emerged from COVID. For the 15 years prior, Lloyd was the Worship Co-Leader at Belmont Heights UMC in Long Beach.  Together with the Music Director and Accompanist, they formed a team that brought an eclectic mix of styles for worship.  Traditional, Contemporary, Praise, Country, Bluegrass, Rock, Ballad and Spiritual are all styles Lloyd particularly embraces.  Lloyd plays several instruments including acoustic guitar, electric guitar, banjo, Dobro, bass, and keyboards.  Lloyd grew up in the Montebello UMC where his father and mother were Director of Music and Accompanist as a team for nearly 40 years.  Choir rehearses every Wednesday night at 7:00.

A long and winding and sometimes perilous road led Cynthia to LMUMC…well, that and her buddy and musical right-hand guy, Lloyd, paved the way. As far back as she can remember, Cynthia always knew she wanted to be a singer. Her musical journey has been rich with a variety of singing styles and opportunities. Cynthia was brought up singing with the choir and singing solos at Holy Family Catholic Church in Artesia. Cynthia graduated with a Bachelor of Music in Voice Performance from CSULB and then returned years later to obtain a Master’s in Linguistics with a Teaching English as a Second Language (TESL) certificate. Currently, Cynthia is an online adjunct professor of English as a Second Language and Music Theory 1 for beginning ukulele to adult students.

In between undergraduate and graduate school, Cynthia spread her wings at vocal competitions, the Long Beach Opera, Opera Pacific, the Los Angeles Chamber Singers, and Zephyr Voice Ensemble. Later she branched out and sang in a progressive rock band for a short confusing time. Always up for a musical challenge, Cynthia dabbled in composing music and acting with Shakespearean theater troupes in Orange County and Long Beach. At the age of 19, with only one semester of choral and instrumental conducting under her belt, Cynthia was unexpectedly appointed to be Director of Music at Belmont Heights UMC. There she discovered the satisfying and marvelous craft of conducting for the next 31 years. Cynthia is now delighted and overjoyed to be part of this talented and soulful music team, as well as becoming a member of LMUMC.
