Accompanist Information

Casey has been serving First Christian Church in Historic Downtown Wilson since 2007 when she arrived as organist. She served this position while gaining the Masters of Music degree in Organ Performance and Sacred Music from East Carolina University. Prior to this she received Bachelor of Music degrees from Appalachian State University in both Music (Clarinet) Performance and Music Education (K-12). She came onto the FCC Staff full time in 2009 where she continued her ministry as organist and also became director of the Chancel Choir and children's choirs. Since then she has revived The Chalice Ringers handbell choir, has established a group of leaders (Encounter) who assist in leading more contemporary worship music, has provided a meaningful Mobile Music Ministry which visits members in need of spiritual nourishment in their home, and has created a seasonal music series called, "A Space for Grace". Casey feels that authentic ministry and worship experiences are vital in a gospel that calls us to be community. She also believe that though the past can be comprised of long lasting memories, new memories can also be created with the right heart and spirit.

In time aside from First Christian, Casey serves as accompanist for the Beddingfield and Hunt High School Choirs. Her piano students in the Gloria Piano Studio participate in the North Carolina Federation of Music Club performance at ECU. Casey is a member of the Wilson Church Musician's Guild, Association of Disciple Musicians, St. Cecilia Music Club, National Federation of Teachers of Music and Pi Kappa Lambda. She has performed as organist in England, France, Germany and Spain. She loves spending time with her husband, Andrew, son, Jackson, loves raking, all things farmhouse, sweeping, getting her hands in the flower beds and handling her photography business!
