JASON CHARNESKI
Director of Music and Organist
Jason Charneski began his work at RPC in September of 2015, having served for nearly fourteen years in a similar position at the First Church of Christ (Center Church) in Hartford, Connecticut, and, prior to that, in other churches in Connecticut, North Carolina, and New York. Although his most visible work here is in worship, as he leads our music-making for God by playing the organ or piano and conducting the Chancel Choir or instrumentalists, what you see, hear, and feel requires planning and preparation throughout the week and the seasons of the church year. The joy in what he does comes from building relationships with the wonderful people here – of all ages – that make everything happen.
