2010-06-01 - Updated through on-line information from Chad Boorsma. -- The instrument has ninety-two façade pipes and was part of the church's new sanctuary project. The detached four-manual console includes four programmable crescendo settings, two programmable full organ settings and a MIDI resource center for recording and playback. The original sanctuary, home to a 1973 Schantz organ, serves as the chapel. -Database Manager
