My name is Marcos Cruz and I am the Director of Music for Lincoln Christian School. I have had the privilege to have been a part of Church On The Move for 34 years and on staff for 32 years. I have served Church On The Move as Music Director, keyboard player and Global Music Director for 28 of those 32 years and the last 4 years teaching at Lincoln Christian School. I have played in Tulsa and regionally in different local band settings since 1992. I attended the Conservatory of Music in Puerto Rico and attended Oral Roberts University. I have been married for 32 years to our Science Teacher, Rhonda Cruz, and she has been a part of the staff for over 22 years. We have 4 children who attended all elementary and high school at Lincoln. We are grateful that they were prepared to move on into their next step in life. My wife and I are “Empty Nesters" and are enjoying this stage in our lives. Our 4 children have each pursued different careers as well. Our youngest Ariana (22) graduated from Evangel University and is a Marketing director for a Tulsa company. Lynsey (25) is married and helps her husband Larry in music ministry at a church in Missouri and has one boy. (Samuel) Nathan graduated from West Point Military Academy and works in the corporate world in the city of Chicago as a consultant. My oldest Addison is an Advanced Research and Development engineer at Honeywell UOP in Chicago, Illinois and is married to Sarah, also a Lincoln graduate with two girls. (Jane and Rosa)
At Lincoln, I have the privilege to teach Praise and Worship, Piano, Intro to Band and Band (Pep band, Jazz band, worship band) and our 7th grade Explore to Music. I am passionate about finding the God-given gifts in our students and offer them an incredible opportunity to grow and develop their music talent while identifying next steps to make a difference in the world!
One fun fact about my wife and I is that we both love traveling during the summers and both love the beach and the mountains.
