Notes

2011-07-09 - The plaque on the console indicates that the organ was dedicated in 1986, but then rebuilt and completed in 1992. The instrument is in memory of Gar and Gertrude Mulder. The Pedal division is completely comprised of borrows and has no independent registers of its own. -Database Manager

2018-07-18 - Congregation held its last service on January 31, 2016. It appears the building is for sale (according to real estate websites). -Database Manager

2021-06-07 - The church sold and the new oweners do not want the organ. An inquiry from a Joseph Brown to the OHS Database on June 5, 2021 asked, *"Any thoughts on interest in the organ at the Stockbridge united Methodist church in Kalamazoo. We bought the building and are removing it."* -Jim Stettner
