The organ has long played a vital role in Lutheran tradition. It leads congregational singing, supports choirs and liturgy, and brings depth and meaning to our shared experience of faith. For generations, its sound has helped proclaim the Gospel and connect people to God in a powerful way. Our current organ has become increasingly unreliable and the necessary repairs have become increasingly costly and are impractical. This campaign has been raising the funds needed to purchase the Rodgers Imagine 359M, and the purchase was approved at the 6/22/2025 voters meeting.
We currently have received almost enough donations to cover the cost of the organ, depending on what tariffs may be assessed. If we receive donations to the organ fund over and above what is needed, any excess will be transferred to the Capital Improvements Fund. ย
Our current organ from 1948 only offers 2 keyboards/3 divisions, ~15 sounds, & 30 memory levels.
The new, digital, Rodgers Imagine 359M will have 3 keyboards/4 divisions, 59 stops, over 330 voices, 2,500+ memory levels, USB recording, selectable organ styles (American, French, German, English), digital zimbelstern, & more.
