Database Manager on July 18th, 2018:

This was an extensive rebuild and expansion of the Sauter organ. Discussion began at the church in February of 1976 about the need to rebuild the instrument. By 1981, there wasn't a piston that worked, and the organist couldn't use the Swell. On, May 12, 1985, Dr. C. Warren Becker played the dedication recital. The organ was rebuilt again in 1997 by Fowler Organ Company and then again in 2011 by G. M. Buck Organ Company. (information from historical notes provided by the church).
