Todd Hummel
Todd came to St. John’s way back in 1991 serving in the capacity of Substitute Organist. Soon thereafter, he took on the full responsibilities of full-time Organist and Accompanist. Todd began his love of music at an early age. He was bitten by the piano/organ “bug” and began taking formal lessons from various accomplished musicians. Todd studied organ privately at Susquehanna University and the Minister of Music at Christ Church and Wanamaker’s in Philadelphia for many years. Todd gained most of his musical knowledge by being involved in Church music programs, further developing his musical skills and techniques. Somewhere along the way he developed a love of Handbells and attended many seminars and workshops which eventually lead to him leading the handbell choir of St. John’s. Todd also holds the position of Administrative Assistant and Financial Secretary for St. John’s.
