I’ve been a member of St. John since I moved to Boerne in 2008.
I started playing guitar around 8 years ago and gained some experience playing in the church youth band for a few years before the praise service began.
My name is Ellie Waters, I’m 16 and have been singing with the praise band for just over a year. Over this past year I have grown to love using my voice in praise and have gotten to become more involved in my church. Outside of Sunday morning I enjoy doing gymnastics and hanging out with my friends.
