Updated through online information from James R. Stettner. -- This is the congregation's second edifice, but their fist pipe organ. Both celebrated their centennial this year. According to the history section of the church's website, "The Kimball pipe organ was purchased in 1910 for $1,650.00 and has served the congregation since that date."
