The organ committee met 5 times to discuss repairing the church's pipe organ, installed in 1946, or purchasing a new electronic organ. They considered priorities like sound quality, maintenance costs, features, and historical value. After hearing presentations from pipe and electronic organ companies and visiting another church, the committee unanimously recommended purchasing a new Allen electronic organ over repairing the pipe organ, due to the electronic organ's equal sound quality, lack of annual maintenance fees, advanced features, lower overall cost while still providing a "wow factor" experience.
