The organ was installed in 1967, with tonal finishing by Roy Perry and with Robert T. Anderson as the consultant. The church, at one time, donated six organ scholarships a year to nearby schools, so was a frequent site for organ recitals.
 
The Range Company added six ranks to the organ in 1990; the new ranks included a III Cymbal Mixture and Trompette en Chamade to the Great, a 16-8-4 Bombarde unit and Flute Celeste to the Swell, and a 32' Bombarde extension in the Pedal.
