Notes

2013-11-23 - This entry describes an original installation of a new pipe organ. Identified by Cary Dumas, based on personal knowledge of the organ. -- The console says the organ was completed in 1990, but the Fowler Organ Co. website says 1991. -Database Manager

2019-08-12 - Organ was removed following a 2015 tornado that damaged the church building. Fowler reinstalled the organ after repairs were completed to the facility. -Database Manager
