A New Organ for Our Church
In the fall of 2007, our church began investigating the possibility of the purchase of a new organ for our sanctuary due to mechanical failures of the old organ. Through the extreme generosity of our congregants, we quickly raised the money to purchase a new organ and a contract was signed in the Spring of 2008 with the Rodgers Organ Company.
Our new organ arrived the day after our 2008 "Let Freedom Ring" concert in July and has been bringing glorious music to all who have heard it! The new organ is a Rodgers Trillium Masterpiece 928.
The organ console has 3-manuals, drawknobs and pedals with Rosewood Sharps and Ivora Naturals, and a 2-tone wood console. The dedicatory recital was held on Sunday Morning, July 27, 2008 and was led by our church's organist, Jason Evans.
Two other organ concerts were held in our dedicatory series. The first was on August 10, 2008 by Mr. Monty Bennet and the second was on September 21, 2008 and was played by Mr. Corey Powell.
Director of Muisc Ministries/Organist/Handbells: Mr. Jason Evans
