Database Manager on September 05, 2014:

Updated through online information from John Ireland. -- I was the organist here in 1982-83. Console was replaced in 1982. The church was sold 2 or 3 years ago and the sanctuary is currently being used as a theater. The organ is still in place and functional. I recently played for a wedding there and the organ was usable and not horribly out of tune but it does need work.
