Notes
2007-02-07 - Identified through online information from James R. Stettner. -- This organ replaced a 1938, 2/3 Reuter transplanted from the old church which is across the street. The Bulley was dedicated on January 8, 1989 in recital by Tim Warren. -Database Manager
2023-07-05 - Current condition of organ is playable. However, due to many factors, the organ is no longer given care as it should. The organ desperately needs to be tuned and one of the pipes is sagging under its own weight due to the excessive summer heat in the sanctuary and the softness of the metal. -Morgan Lane
