Oldest Church Building in Virginia Chooses Rodgers!
R. A. Daffer Church Organs has recently installed a Rodgers Imagine 359 Digital Organ featuring DS-Core technology and Mechanical Drawknobs in the oldest church building in the Commonwealth of Virginia.
St. Peter’s Parish Church (Episcopal), New Kent, was constructed in 1701-1703 and is considered “The First Church of the First Lady”. Martha Dandridge, who would become the wife of George Washington, was the daughter of a Warden of St. Peter’s and attended this church when she lived in New Kent. The historical landmark continues as an active parish, and the music program is directed by Larry Heath. After considering many options, Larry confidently chose the Rodgers over other builders and assemblers of organs.
A dedication concert will take place on November 2, 2025, which will be performed by Randy Sheets.
