Mr. Richard W. Glover
Protestant Minister of Music
As the Protestant Minister of Music, Richard directs the Georgetown University Gospel Choir and plays the piano and organ for the 4 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. worship services. He is a classically trained pianist who has had interests in many instruments from an early age. At 13, he was appointed Director of the Youth Choir at Rock Creek Baptist Church in Washington, DC, making him the first youth in the church’s history to direct a choir. Though Richard was raised Baptist, when he grew older, he left Rock Creek to pursue his musical interests in several churches from different denominations, playing piano for them whenever needed.
Richard continued his musical instruction by attending the University of the District of Columbia’s music program and later earning a master’s in Church Music from Shenandoah University. He has since received many awards and honors and is an accomplished director/conductor, arranger, composer, and songwriter. Despite all his accomplishments, attributes, and awards, Richard remains humble in his work for the Lord. He is a child of God and has a heart for God's people; he has developed the following personal mission statement: "It's my desire to serve the Lord with gladness, to lead God's people in praise and the worship experience through the medium of music."
