Rev. Aaron M. Sheaffer, Senior Organist

The Rev. Aaron M. Sheaffer is Senior Organist of Shiloh Church. A native of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, he is a graduate of Lebanon Valley College, Annville, Pennsylvania, and United Theological Seminary of Dayton. An ordained United Methodist minister, he is retired (technically!) from the active ministry. He became Shiloh’s Senior Organist in 1985 and from 1991 through 2003 also served as Shiloh’s Pastor of Arts and Outreach. During thirty years (1960-1990) on the staff and faculty of United Theological Seminary he served as Director of The United Sound, the school’s prestigious choral/dramatic ensemble which toured throughout the United States and to Europe. As Associate Professor of Communication Arts and Music he developed the communications center/television studio at the seminary and began the communications studies program. For a number of years he hosted television programs produced by the seminary for broadcast and cable television. He was a founding member of Dayton Access Television (DATV) and served on its Board of Trustees for 27 years. Aaron is a Past President of the Fellowship of United Methodists in Music and Worship Arts and a former Chair of the North American Broadcast Section of the World Association for Christian Communication. Hobbies include electronics of all kinds, photography, and—of course—music. The real power behind his enthusiasm for life is his wife, Pat, their four children, their grandchildren, and  Shiloh’s Möller pipe organ.
