DETAILS
This instrument is: Extant and Playable in this location
Identified through online information from Chad Boorsma -- The organ was originally built by M. P. Möller (Opus 7113) in 1946 for the congregation's previous location, 188 W. Muskegon Ave., also in Muskegon. At that time the congregation was known as Mission Covenant Church. The organ was placed in storage for a year until the church relocated to this location in 1983. The organ was installed in the new sanctuary by Bill Swem. The only changes were some upgrades to the console.
