The Lively Fulcher Organ
In 2017, Vanderbilt unveiled its crown jewel, the Lively Fulcher organ which graces the sanctuary on the altar. The organ is named the Richard & Patricia Fors Organ and is given "to the glory of God and in honor of James Cochran, Organist."
The organ leads our weekly worship services and is featured prominently in many of our special concert events.
