The Organ

The Historic First Christian Church Organ

In 1913, the organ was built and installed by the Esty Organ Company at a cost of $1,300.
The original console was attached to the case of the organ and was later detached and replaced with a modern remote console. The Esty organ was installed with 18 ranks of pipes and after several modifications and a major rebuild currently has 35 ranks.
The organ is maintained by Lanny Hochhalter of Portland, OR. Through the generous gifts of members of the First Christian Church community, the organ is constantly being refined and improved upon. Future modifications may include replacement of some of the more fragile or damaged pipes from the original organ.
The pipe organ has played a significant role in the tradition of protestant worship for centuries. First Christian Church is proud to carry on that tradition in weekly services of worship, special services, weddings, and community events throughout the year.
If you would like more information about the instruments of First Christian Church, or would like a tour of the organ, please contact Dr. John Jantzi, Organist and Director of Handbell Choir.
