	Keenan Boswell Choir Director Keenan Boswell moved to New York City in the Fall of 2006 for pursuing his undergrad degree in Organ Performance at The Juilliard School. He was hired as organist at Emmanuel Presbyterian Church and began attending and playing for service(s). Since his arrival, Keenan has volunteered to play and sing in the praise band and, since January 2009, has been the hired Choir Director for EPC. Learning of and sharing the Love of Christ has been the top focus in his life in New York. So, Keenan made his dedication official and became a member of EPC in December 2007. In fact, life at Emmanuel has so deeply impacted Keenan's life, he has found himself randomly shouting "Shabbach" whilst walking the streets of New York.

Emmanuel Presbyterian Church is a congregation of the Presbyterian Church in America. We believe in the historic Christian faith as summarized is the Apostles' and Nicene Creeds. We call ourselves "Emmanuel" (God with us) because we believe that Jesus' substitutionary death and poured out Spirit have brought God near. God's nearness brings life to all that we do – to our worship, our friendships, our families, our thought life, our studies, and our work. We embrace Emmanuel's love for the city and seek to share his beauty, truth, healing and goodness with the communities where we live and work, particularly the communities of Morningside Heights.
