NOTES
The first church building was built in 1907, and was furnished with a I-manual
Kimball reed (pump) organ. This organ served until an early electronic organ
was purchased. The electronic organ served until 1974 when it was sold for
$400.00, and a new Wicks pipe organ was installed at the front on the right
side of the original building by Mr. Charles W. Allen of Seattle, Washington.
The cost of the Wicks was $7,708.00 and it was purchased with a new building
in mind.

Ground-breaking for the new [present] sanctuary began in 1975. The old church
was sold to the Baptist congregation and moved to 16th & Beech. The Wicks was
hoisted into the choir loft of the new church on April 12, 1978. The first
worship service held in the new facility was June 4, 1978, and the building
was dedicated August 21, 1981.

The Flute rank of the organ has an unusual construction. The first 24 pipes
are of stopped wood. The next eight (8) pipes are capped metal. The next 29
pipes are true Koppel Flöte pipes, with the remaining 36 pipes being open
metal trebles.
