from the church history web page:
The Schaefer Organ
In the fall of 1933 a rebuilt two-manual Schaefer pipe organ was installed in the church at a cost of $900. Organ dedication took place on November 19, 1933. Prior to this time a reed organ (on which the organist had to work foot pedals to pump air into the bellows) had been used to accompany the congregational singing.

Up until this time all worship services, church meetings, and confirmation instructions and examinations had been conducted in the German language. In 1934 the church constitution was revised and rewritten in English. Two worship services, one in English and one in German, were now held every Sunday morning. Confirmation instruction was now given in the English language...

In 1965 chimes were added to the organ...Due to the need for extensive repairs, energy conservation, and a parking lot location too far from the church entrance, a major renovation of the church building was begun in 1979. The orientation of the worship space was completely turned around. The main entrance was moved to the east end of the building and what originally had been the chancel became the narthex (entrance hall). A large canopy covering a two-lane driveway was erected over the entrance. The choir cove became the library and an “overflow” area when extra seating was necessary. A balcony was added over the narthex to accommodate the organ and the choir.

In 1983 the console of the Schaefer organ which served the congregation for fifty years was replaced with that of a Haase eight-rank organ. Pipes from the Schaefer and Haase organs were combined and installed in the balcony. The console and pipes of the Haase organ were all purchased from Immanuel Lutheran Church of Mayville.
