The Sanctuary Pipe Organ M. P. Möller Opus No. 11788
When the Roswell United Methodist
Church voted in 1986 to construct a new house of worship, it was determined that a new organ would be needed to lead the congregation in worship services. An Organ Task Force was appointed to study these
needs and recommend an organ builder. After traveling from coast to coast hearing new instruments and visiting several organ facilities, the Task Force unanimously recommended that the new RUMC
organ be constructed by the M.P. Möller Company of Hagerstown, Maryland.
The main organ facade pipes were installed for Palm Sunday
1989, with the remainder of the installation being completed during the summer of 1989 by Möller's representative George Miller. The organ was first played for the dedication of the
new Methodist Hymnal on August 27, 1989 and dedicated November 5, 1989.
The tonal specifications of the instruments were drawn up by Tom Alderman, in collaboration with Dr. Ronald Ellis, President
of Möller, and Daniel Angerstein, Tonal Director of Möller.
Our achievement in sound reflects a rich church music heritage
, and is an expression of praise to God.
