Notes

Database Manager on September 08, 2014:

A new Worship Center was completed in 2011, with a 3-manual Rodgers; the old sanctuary is now the chapel; a contemporary service for the college group is held there and the organ is not used; it is still in good condition, though; the college worship director is a pianist who said that he likes to sit down at the organ on occasion and play it best he can.
