1985-10-22 - Church exterior (Photograph by Jeff Scofield/Database Manager)

2008-10-22 - Console (Photograph by Jeff Scofield/Database Manager)
2007-02-05 - Identified through on-line information from Jeff Scofield. -- Rumor has it that it is an Estey organ, but no one knows where it came from or even when it was installed. A plate on the console says (Console by Austin 1945). Since the sanctuary was built in the 1960s or 70s, the organ is obviously a transplant. -Database Manager
2013-10-12 - Updated through online information from J. Hill. -- The original 1945 Austin organ was sold to Clairmont Hills and installed circa 1972. The organ and console were rebuilt in 1994 by the Miller Organ Co. Several pipes are damaged as well as the speakers for the digital 32/16' pedal stops. The organ is otherwise in playable condition. -Database Manager
