Joy Blustin
Organist/Choir Director
Joy Blustin is no stranger to St. Christopher’s - she first played as a substitute organist at just 16 while her father served as the Episcopal chaplain at Ft. Cavazos - then Fr. Hood. Now, half a century later, she’s back. Her mother, Mary, has been a devoted member of the parish for over 36 years.
Joy graduated from Killeen High School and holds a Certificate in Church Music through The Leadership Program for Musicians Serving Small Congregations, offered by the Episcopal Church. She is currently pursuing a Master’s degree in Bible Studies, driven by her passion for studying God’s Word and uncovering His promises—hidden like buried treasure, waiting to be found.
