Brooke Coxon has been the Worship Coordinator at First Presbyterian Church of Hollywood since May 2016. She moved to Los Angeles with her husband Barnaby in 2015 from New Zealand, or as some like to call it Middle Earth. She has a Bachelor of Music Arts with a major in film composition from the Ara Music Arts School in Christchurch. She worked at an elementary school teaching piano, singing and ukulele. She also created and led a weekly after-school music program.

Brooke and her husband had no doubt that God was calling them to Los Angeles, but it wasn’t until she started her job here at the church that it became truly evident what God had planned for her.

This position has given Brooke a greater understanding and passion for worship. She loves helping others experience God and has a desire to see them grow in a deeper relationship with Him. She helps facilitate worship by planning the services, and regularly leading music.

Brooke enjoys embroidery, composing music, hiking and finding great coffee spots. As a kiwi, she knows what a good cup of coffee tastes like so if you have a favorite coffee spot, do let her know!
