Our Allen-Moller Organ is a 3 manual, 70 stop, 115 rank, pipe-digital combination instrument built by Allen Organ Company, Macungie, Pennsylvania. Some of the pipes from the organ installed at the first church on the grounds were found and restored to be included with the present 2002 Allen Organ. How fortunate that members of our earlier congregations realized the importance of those pipes made by the famed pipe maker Moller (M.P. Moeller, 1875-1992)! They kept and stored them away.  When the new and present church was built, those original pipes were restored and installed with the new (2002) custom-built Allen Organ – thus the Allen-Moller Organ. It was dedicated by Master Organist Tom Hazelton in May of 2002 and has been played by world renowned organists: Carlo Curly, Stan Kann,  Aram Basmadjian, and Rudy Lucente.
