Since construction is complete, we've ceased posting updates here but invite you to view the progess on Leek Pipe Organ Company's Flickr account; also, view a presentation by them about our organ, here. We have raised 100% of our goal, but with unfunded ranks still available! Yet opportunities for continued gifts are still available, click the links on the left!

Beyond these updates, here are some photos of our organ committee's visit to the shop at Leek Pipe Organ Company during the early phases of our project. These photos are of the 1973 organ built by Schantz Organ Company that is the basis of our organ, as well as a photo of the organ at Trinity Lutheran Church, which will provide several additional ranks to our completed organ.
