I am originally from Columbia, South Carolina and have lived in North Carolina for eight years now. I have been a member at Park Street for six years and the Music Director for the last four years. Was married at Park Street to my beautiful wife Pilar and we just celebrated our third anniversary this year. I have a son Austin and a new daughter Samantha.
I attended the University of South Carolina Columbia, obtaining a bachelors degree in Media Arts with a minor concentration in music education. I currently work as well, fulltime for Bank of America as a technology manager.
I have my private pilot’s license and love to fly for fun when I have the chance, but spending time with family and friends holds the highest priority for my life.

Patricia "Fritzi" Downing - Children's Choir & Adult Hand Bell Choir Director
Email - parkstreetumc@carolina.rr.com
Hello, fellow Methodists!
Thank you for entrusting me with your children's choir and your adult hand bell choir! I am looking forward to meeting all of you and I hope I can help you and your children realize the full potential of your talents in the effort to "Make a Joyful Noise Unto the Lord"! The most beautiful music is the one that comes straight from the heart and if your heart is pure in your purpose to praise your Lord, we WILL make a joyful noise.
I come to you from 1st Methodist Church in Forest City where I have been a member of the church choir for the past several years and have also played in the bell choir. I am a former Belmont resident and raised all my kids in Belmont, which is a lovely town with an incredible future. I have had much experience with children's programs, directing Christmas pageants, working in the theater, etc, but it is not about me. It is all about praising the Lord through the medium of the heart with the help of the gift of music. I hope I can help you to incorporate these three into a harmony that will enhance the music program of this church as well as bring the musician and the listener closer to Christ.
We will begin the Christmas season rehearsing with the children's choir as well as the adult hand bell choir in early October. I hope you will prayerfully consider joining us as we embellish the music program this season. Again, I am so glad to be led to you and am looking forward to meeting you all!

Mary has been a long time member of both Park Street Church and our music program at Park Street. She plays both the Organ and Piano as needed to enrich and accompany the choir each Sunday during our 11am Traditional Service. Her dedication and God given musical talent is truly a blessing each Sunday.
