NOTES
This congregation's first organ was a I-manual Estey reed organ with __ stops. It still
sits at the front, right side of the sanctuary beside the chancel steps.

The Möller is the first pipe organ, and it is a stock model “Portable” instrument. It
was installed in the rear gallery.

It was rebuilt and enlarged in the 1980's by Harold B. Curryer of Spokane, Washington
who added casework to the left side and top, and added an 8' Principal, 2' Super Octave,
and 8' Oboe. The number of stops on the Great and Swell remained the same, but the Pedal
was enlarged by two stops.
