Database Manager on April 30, 2011:

This congregation is a result of three churches merging together (First, Alamo Avenue, and Knollwood Christian Reformed Churches).  Of the pipes, 923 of them came from the Reuter organ that had been in First CRC's building.  Most of the added pipes were made in Germany.  The Great division is located on the left, the Swell on the right, and the Pedal in both.  The Swell division is under expression.  The organ was dedicated on November 18, 1990, with John Ourensma as organist.  Ourensma also served as consultant on the project.
