Pipe Organ

Our organ is a mechanical action organ designed and built by the Holtkamp Organ Company of Cleveland, Ohio. It was installed and dedicated to the glory of God in 1995. It features a two-manual console with full AGO pedal board. There are 37 ranks consisting of 1,087 pipes in the chamber that dominates the balcony at the rear of the church. This marvellous instrument first and foremost leads the congregation in singing during traditional worship services. The flexibility of sounds available allow for accompaniment of the choirs and small groups plus vivid interpretation of organ literature, both classical and contemporary.
