Notes
2007-10-13 - Identified through on-line information from James R. Stettner. -- This congregation was originally First Baptist in Des Moines, Iowa. They moved to Johnston in 2000 and met in the high school while their new church as being built. The organ is a rebuild and enlargement by Darrow of their previous instrument which dates from ca. 1965. Exposed pipes on two cantilevered chests on either side of the baptistery. Two chambers behind the exposed pipes. Non-specified electro-pneumatic windchests. New console which normally resides on the right side of the chancel. -Database Manager
