Our Staff
At Chilhowie United Methodist Church, we have
a volunteer staff that assists us in communicating our message.
Charles Goodman, Jr., Choral Director
The
choral director at the Chilhowie UMC is Charles F. Goodman, Jr. Charles
grew up in Chilhowie and directed the chancel choir part time in the early
1960's when he was a student at Emory and Henry College. When he and his
wife Nancy moved back to Smyth County in 1969, he returned to the church
as choir director. Charles was an English teacher at E.C. Glass, Lynchburg,
from 1963 to 1969. He moved to Marion, Virginia in 1969 as Guidance Director
at Marion Senior High School. In 1994, Charles became Adult Education Marketing

markets ABE/GED programs to local industries, and serves as Executive Director
of the Smyth County Education Foundation, Inc.

Britton, play the organ while Pat plays piano during our preludes, offertory,
and postlude. John also plays organ at the Episcopal Church in Marion two
Sundays each month.
