Chuck Marohnic

"Chuck Marohnic brings that wonderful combination of jazz artistry and authentic worship to his music ministry at the Scottsdale Congregational UCC. His capacity to lead, to support, and to enhance the movement and rhythm of worship brings the liturgy to a full-voiced praise of God. In Chuck Marohnic music art and the liturgy are one."

"What really impresses me about Chuck Marohnic is not only his extraordinary musicianship, but the way he combines his musical gifts with a solid - even inspired - sense of worship aesthetics. Chuck worships as he plays, and plays as he worships. Anymore, I don't even think of Chuck as a pianist. He himself is an instrument. God plays through him, and does so in ways that open us up more fully to God's Presence, inspiring us to both higher and deeper levels of worship."
- Rev. Eric E. Elnes, Ph.D.

"Chuck Marohnic is much, much more than a terrific jazz pianist and band leader/educator. He turns his art into corporate worship. The liturgical result of his committed Christian creativity is not a weekly showpiece, but, rather, the foundation of the finest innovative worship experiences I have ever known."
