About the organ:
Baker Memorial UMC boasts one of the region's finest and historic pipe organs. Built by the prestigious E.M. Skinner organ company at the time of the church's construction (1928), the organ has undergone very few alterations or modifications since the time of its installation. Although small compared with most organs, this instrument can accommodate music of all periods and styles, including hymns and choral anthems.
