Our Pipe Organs

Saint Mark is blessed to have two magnificent pipe organs. The soaring tones of these instruments welcome everyone to worship and accompany our voices in singing the great music that is part of our rich Methodist heritage.

The Caroline Radford Brooks Memorial Chapel Organ
in the Frances Winship Walters Chapel

The chapel organ was given in loving memory of Caroline Radford Brooks and dedicated on August 28, 2005. Caroline was a long time member of Saint Mark who was active in many areas of the church, including her Sunday School class, the Women’s Society for Christian Service, and Wednesday Fellowship Dinners. Outgoing and friendly, she was loved by all who knew her. Caroline and her husband raised their sons, Jim and Tom, at Saint Mark.

The console shell was retained from the previous 1948 Reuter organ, installed when the chapel was constructed. There are new keyboards, tilting tabs and a combination action. Keys have bone naturals and tracker touch.

There are two balanced facades and cases which house the Great and partial pedal on the left and the Swell Division on the right. The front façade pipes are painted and the pedal reed is polished copper.

The organ originated at the Protestant Radio and Television station in the 1970s. When the building was sold, the organ was removed and rebuilt for Saint Mark by Phil Parkey of Parkey Organ Builders.

This organ has 2 Manuals and 17 Ranks, and is designed to accommodate regular services, weddings and funerals.
