The church's organ was designed and built in 1979 by Austin
Organs, Inc. of Hartford, Connecticut expressly for the church to
complement the wonderful acoustics of the sanctuary. The organ
has
37 stops in four divisions, which are controlled from
the three
manual stop key console. The Swell Organ and the Choir-Positiv Organ
are under expression and are located in the left organ
chamber,
while the Great Organ and Pedal Organ are located in the right
chamber. The organ comprises 2168 metal and wooden
pipes arranged
in 38 ranks. The pipes range in size from a wooden 16-foot long
pipe, to a tiny metal one the size of a pencil.
