Music coordinators, DANIEL & KAITLYN CLINE
Daniel and Kaitlyn Cline are middle school music teachers in Randolph County Schools and previous church musicians. And, as of Jan. 3, 2023, they are also new parents to a baby boy, Henry Thomas. This husband-wife team has always had a passion for directing music in both settings. When they are not performing and praising the couple can be found enjoying playing with Henry, outdoor activities, traveling, and doting on their 2 cats and 1 dog: Minnie, Kerchsel, and Otis! These Asheboro residents already have felt a home during their recent attendance at FUMC, and cannot wait to spread God’s word through music with their new church family.
