From the church website: "Our Magnificent Pipe Organ - The pipe organ was built by the 110 year old Wicks Organ Company of Highland Illinois in 1961. Originally installed at St. Pauls Lutheran Church in Lakeland Florida, it was sold to another church in 2003 but not installed, in 2009 it was donated to the Church On The Bayou and installed by Darwin Klug. The organ is comprised of 17 ranks, 979 pipes in 3 divisions over 2 manuals and pedal, it has been somewhat altered from it's original specification, a not uncommon practice in relocated instruments. The organ powerfully supports the congregational singing with its combination of diapason, flute, salacinol [sic], and trumpet stops. The pipes range in size from smaller than a pencil to 16 feet long in the pedal division. The organ has been recently tuned and serviced by William Longmore & Associates of Lakeland Florida and additional repairs are scheduled in 2023."
