St. George's is a dynamic, diverse congregation rooted in worship and prayer and dedicated to living out the gospel of Jesus Christ. Founded in 1954, we've joyfully served the spiritual, social, and educational needs of the Dayton community for nearly five decades.
The Choir
“He who sings prays twice.” -- St Augustine
St. George's Choir leads the people in singing at worship and sponsors other musical activities. On principal celebrations of the Holy Eucharist they are accompanied by the church's magnificent Fisk pipe organ.
The Organ
The organ at S. George’s Episcopal Church, Dayton, Ohio
, was designed and built by C.B. Fisk, Inc., of Gloucester, Massachusetts, in 1988 and completed in May of 1989. The two-manual instrument, Opus 94 of the Fisk firm, has 23 stops totaling 1,702 pipes in a case of quarter –sawn white oak. In 1981 the late Charles Fisk designed the specification for what he called “a three-manual organ appearing on two manuals.” He combined French and German elements to create an American eclectic organ capable of leading congregational singing, accompanying choral music, and playing 400 years of organ repertoire with authority.
