Notes:

Identified through online information from Jack Umholtz. -- I was recently told the instrument might be played if they had an organist, but was also told several years ago by a former pastor that the organ was not functioning due to the bellows (reservoirs) needing to be releathered and the church could not afford it, so they no longer use the organ. This is confirmed by my visit in April of 2012, as there were amps, microphones, a drum set, etc., set up on and around the console indicating the church has moved to a praise band format.
