The Nichols & Simpson organ for Moorings Presbyterian Church is the first pipe organ with which this congregation has ever worshipped. The generosity of the Sterritte family made this long-held dream a possibility. The main organ and facade houses 50 stops and 68 ranks. The Solo division, which is housed behind a smaller facade is comprised of 7 stops and 7 ranks. The case pipes in the large towers are made of flamed copper; the remainder of the case pipes are made of polished zinc. The case was designed by Frank Friemel and executed by QLF Custom Pipe Organ Components, LLC. The organ was used in worship for the first time on August 10, 2008.
