Highlands Organ:

This beautiful instrument was given in memory of Morris A. Stoltzfus by the Stoltzfus family to the glory of God, to produce joyful music in our sanctuary for the inspiration of present and future generations. We hope that its voice will speak not only to our parishioners in worship services, but also to the community at large in special concerts. The Wicks 3 manual pipe/digital organ has 41 ranks of pipes – 2116 pipes to be exact – and 37 digital ranks, entirely housed in the former choir loft and a small adjoining room which previously housed speakers. The console and facade are constructed of solid oak, as are the suspended Celtic cross – a gift, the pulpit, the floor of the chancel platform, and all other visible wooden structures.
