Notes
2021-11-06 - The original organ was a 1962 Wicks installed entrely in a left-side chamber at the front with no visible pipes. According to a Facebook post by builder Richard Swanson in International Pipe Organ Professional Forum on November 5, 2021, *"Between 2002 and 2006, I expanded the organ to 30 ranks with 18 new ranks and 2 recycled sets. I also added a new console, new chests under all the additions, a new Zephyr blower and the Peterson ICS 4000 system."*
The Organ Dedication Concert took place February 11, 2007 with Lynne Davis performing. -Jim Stettner
