The Organ
Among all other instruments which are suitable for divine worship, the organ is accorded pride of place because of its capacity to sustain the singing of a large gathered assembly, due to both its size and its ability to give resonance to the fullness of human sentiments, from joy to sadness, from praise to lamentation.

In 2004, a decision was made to update the console and switching system. A Johannus Rembrandt 397 was purchased which made the Pipe Organ a Hybrid Instrument enhancing the tonal areas of the instrument. At this same time the Façade Pipes were painted.
