From the 'History' page of the church website, "On November 29th the building was so far advanced that Divine services were held in the basement of the new structure, where the congregation worshiped until the spring of the following year. The Vogt organ was moved from the old building to the new one. It was installed in the right front corner, with a choir loft in front.
On May 9, 1915, the present church, which cost approximately $28,000.00 was set aside and consecrated as a House of God in the presence of about one thousand people. Pastors E. Hoffman, D. D. C. Zarnke, E. Bockelman, Hansen, J. Reble, Kennerly, and Voelker assisted the local pastor. Choirs from Waterloo, Kitchener, New Hamburg, St. Jacobs and Elmira enhanced the beauty of the services with special anthems. The offering amounted to $350.00."
Updated through online information from Andrew Henderson (June 25, 2024): This entry represents the relocating of the 1875 Vogt organ to the new church, presumably without alterations.
