Marsha Medley, Music Director

The Session has named Marsha Medley as the new Music Director at St. Mark beginning on August 1. She has been the Organist since 2012, coming to St. Mark from Ivy Chapel UCC in Chesterfield, and will continue as Organist in her new role. Marsha replaces Bud Clark who left St. Mark in July.

Marsha is trained as a classical pianist but has worked as a professional organist for over 30 years. Self-taught on the organ, she first started playing at the “big” Mass in the Catholic Church of her childhood at age 13. She has directed vocal choirs and bell choirs and conducted church orchestras for more than 20 years. Marsha is a published composer and arranger and has taught piano privately for many years.

“Music and congregational singing is such an important part of a meaningful, spirit-filled wor-ship experience,” Medley said. “I see the potential for everyone to become more involved in the music ministry here, being part of the choir, bells, or even just making a joyful noise to the Lord in pews.”
