Notes

2011-11-27 - The organ was approved by the congregation in 1968 and was dedicated on April 18, 1971 (although the nameplate says 1969). In 1995, during a chancel remodeling project, the chambers and openings were reconfigured. The front openings were removed, the side openings received new grillework, and the exposed pipes were moved into chambers at both sides of the front chancel wall. -Database Manager

2019-02-07 - Organ was removed from the sanctuary during a building renovation project in 2018. The organ is currently in storage and for sale. -Database Manager
