Updated through online information from T. Daniel Hancock. -- Moved here from Concordia, Missouri, after previous building burned, along with Schuelke pipe organ, in 1936. Tuning slides were added in 1970 by Michael Quimby, and the action leather nuts were replaced at the same time. No other restoration work has been done; the double-rise reservoir is operating on original leather.

This entry represents the installation of a used organ. From the 'History' page of the parish website, "Dedication of the present church took place on Reformation Day October 31, 1937. A total of fourteen hundred people were estimated to have attended the two services of that day. The present church is sixty feet in length, thirty six feet in width, the walls are sixteen feet in height, and the church steeple is seventy feet in height. A bell was purchased immediately, and the pipe organ was purchased and dedicated in the summer of 1938."
