Phillip Staggs
Director of Music Ministries and Organist
I have had the honor of playing the organ and directing the choir here at Caldwell FUMC for the last two and a half years and I love our congregation and the music we sing. I am currently studying Business Administration at Texas A&M University Corpus Christi, via the RELLIS Campus. Whoop!
I have been around music all my life, starting violin lessons at the age of five and piano at age six. My parents wished all their children to be well versed in classical music and play an instrument. I am number three of four children and my family has always played an important part in the music of the churches we have attended.
I started playing the organ in 2014 and fell in love with it, as I knew would, because it was a dream come true! I have had the honor of studying with Christina Harmon for 8 years. I travelled to Europe with Ms. Harmon and the French Organ Music Seminar to learn the history of the pipe organ in both classical and liturgical forms. I love spending time with my family and friends, travel, and sharing my love of music and praise.
