What Makes Us Sound Different
The James Sprunt Memorial Organ is a fully restored 1928 E.M. Skinner organ and is housed in the FPC Sanctuary. The acoustics of the space create a concert type atmosphere during our traditional worship service. We welcome you to visit our sanctuary at any time to admire the visual beauty, but we extend a special invitation to join us on Sundays for a musical treat!
The Kenan Chapel Organ is a Noack Tracker organ installed in 1992. This musical instrument is located one floor below the Sanctuary.
Two more instruments of interest:
A Shigeru Kawai 6’6′ grand piano is positioned in the left front of the Sanctuary below the preacher’s pulpit.
A restored Weber 1890 6’6′ Victorian Grand is proudly displayed in the Choir Room on the third floor of our church.
