Notes: From church's website: "The most striking feature of our sanctuary is, for many people, the 3-manual keyboard and 32-note pedal pipe organ.

It contains 1,997 pipes in all, most of which are hidden in two alcoves on the north and south side.

Built origially in 1952 as a 14-rank organ by the Moller Pipe Organ Co. (for the First Presbyterian Church of Mankato, MN). That organ was enlaraged in 1972 with 20 additional ranks added by organ builder Richard Lurth. It was bought, rebuilt and installed in our sanctuary on November 16th, 1989 by the Rutz Organ Company.
