History

The church organ is a two manual Austin pipe organ with thirteen ranks of pipes. Installed when the church was built in the early 1970's it served the church well. In September of 2008 this pipe organ was combined with a digital Quantum 325C Allen organ. The 50 stop three-manual console has American Classic, English Cathedral, Cavaille-Coll, Schlicker, Arp Schnitger, and Orchestral suites. Along with advanced MIDI capabilities, the organ also has an antiphonal organ in the back of the church. The blending of pipe sounds and digital sounds is voiced beautifully.
