Jim Stettner on August 10th, 2025:
The builder and year of installation have been identified from the *150-year Celebration* booklet available on the church website, which states, "An organ committee was formed in 1977 to determine what alternatives were available for rebuilding, enlarging or replacing the instrument. Dr. Paul Manz was retained as our consultant and after much investigation, it was determined to replace the organ. The new organ was manufactured by the E. H. Holloway Corporation, of Indianapolis, Indiana. This firm has been in the craft of organ building since 1888. The Steward Organ Company of Fairmont, Minnesota, as the area representative, coordinated the installation of the organ." "The new organ is constructed of slider and pallet, electro-pneumatic windchests with 25 ranks of pipes for a total of 1,317 pipes. The pipes are contained in three divisions and controlled by a console of two manuals. The flexibility of design makes the instrument capable of playing all schools of organ literature as well as containing a variety of voices for the regular worship services." "The pipe organ was dedicated on November, 11, 1984."

This entry describes an original installation of a new pipe organ. Identified by James R. Stettner, who gave this as the source of the information: I saw photos of pipes on the church's Facebook page.
