Hailing from the Bronx, NY, Audrey Austrie Holmes is the wife of Tracy Holmes II and mother to Curtis and Gabrielle Holmes. She was born to Caribbean parents who shared their love for God, family and music with her. She served alongside her parents in ministry, singing in ensembles and choral groups, dancing liturgically, and playing the drums throughout the United States and the Caribbean. This is where her love for music and passion for worship developed.

Audrey moved to Nashville, TN to attend Vanderbilt University where she earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology. At Vanderbilt, Audrey was involved in campus ministry singing in the gospel choir, serving on the leadership team, and performing with the campus dance company. Upon graduating, Audrey remained in Nashville and served in her local church as the Worship Leader, an Assistant Youth Minister, led a Young Women’s Bible Study group and wrote music and productions for the Youth ministry. In 2008, Audrey was licensed as a minister. This was a pivotal moment in which she felt a deeper connection with the Holy Spirit, propelling her to share God’s love in whatever way that she could.

In 2010, Audrey moved to California to join her husband Tracy as he completed his graduate studies at Stanford University. In California, Audrey has led worship gatherings for multiple churches, has been blessed to minister with many gifted musicians and vocalists through church productions, concerts and other events.

Professionally, Audrey is the Residency Program Manager for the Internal Medicine Residency Training Program at Stanford. She is the co-director for the Non-Academic Staff Leadership Development Program and serves on the Medicine Residency Diversity Committee. She has been at Stanford since 2010 and has worked in multiple administrative capacities. Audrey has enjoyed working alongside, residents, faculty and colleagues in such a wonderful academic environment.

Whether at work, home or at church, Audrey strives to serve others, to be her authentic self and to express the love of Christ as a daily act of worship. She is grateful for the prayers of her family – past and present – that have sustained her journey with the Lord. Audrey is excited to serve on staff at NBCC where she has volunteered on many teams (Communion, Next Steps, Set-Up and Worship Arts) for years. To God Be the Glory!
