2011-07-07 - The organ cost $17,000 and replaced a Baldwin organ that the church had used previously. In 1973, the sanctuary was remodeled, and the Möller organ was moved to the opposite end of the room in the chancel area. In 1987, the organ was rebuilt by David Lee and Rodgers Organ Company. The work included a new console and many digital stops. All of the Möller pipework was retained and reused in the instrument. -Database Manager
