Notes: This entry describes an original installation of a new pipe organ. Identified by Robert Brock.

The church moved to its new Kimball Avenue location in Waterloo, IA in 1955 and Wicks Organ Co. altered the original 4-manual organ to a smaller 3-manual instrument (with new Opus #3622) to fit the new (smaller) sanctuary.

The Evangelical Church building was later sold to Kimball Avenue Methodist Church.
