My name is Chris DuPont, and I am the new Director of Worship Arts for the Upper Room Service. I’ve been a church musician for most of my life, and am excited to be serving the community of First Presybterian! You’ll often see me singing alongside Kylee Phillips, who is already a beloved member of the team. I love creating a space that’s inviting and reflective. In addition to playing modern worship songs, I love rearranging hymns, and bringing their richness into a new format.

When I’m not in church, I am often writing, recording, or performing my own original music. I play shows all around Michigan and occasionally tour through the midwest. I am a father of two sons, Leo and Felix. I love brewing coffee and cooking for people. I also love skateboarding, traveling, reading novels, and watching Star Wars.
