            Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching, and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God (Colossians 3:16).  Please welcome Mrs. Liz Eunji Sellers, Pender United Methodist Church Pianist/Organist. Liz was born and raised in Seoul, South Korea, where she grew up in the Korean United Methodist Church. She began studying the piano at age three and came to the public’s attention when she won the grand prize at the Grand Prix Seoul Music Festival at age eight.

            Her portfolio consists of piano performance, visual art, as well as directing choral and orchestral ensembles.  Previously she served as the music director at the Marine Corps Air Station in New River Chapel, Jacksonville, North Carolina. She has worked as a lecturer, music educator, and opera coach at Craven Community College, the International Christian School, as well as several adult community choirs and ensembles in France, Italy, Scotland, South Korea, Switzerland, and the United States.
