Organ Replacement and UPGRADE Project

Preserving Our Musical Heritage

For generations, the organ has played a central role in our worship at The Falls Church Anglican. In 2019, we acquired our current Marshall & Ogletree organ system, which provides the rich, magnificent sound that fills our new sanctuary. The refurbished Rodgers console, while functional at the time of acquisition, has deteriorated more rapidly than anticipated, with component failures increasing significantly in recent months. Our music ministry now faces critical reliability challenges that require immediate attention to ensure the continued quality of our worship experience.

The Challenge We Face

Repairing the pedalboard

Our current 30-year-old Rodgers console, originally intended as an interim solution, has become increasingly unreliable:

  • Critical failures during worship services

  • Deteriorating keyboards and pedalboards

  • Obsolete components no longer manufactured

  • Expired warranty and growing risk of complete failure

The Solution

The Project at a Glance Timeline:

  • Order placement in 2025, installation in early 2027

  • Warranty: Comprehensive 5-year warranty coverage

  • Lifespan: 30 to 50 + years of service

Marshall & Ogletree Opus Organ

Our new custom-built console will bring together timeless design and cutting-edge technology:

  • Purpose-built for TFCA's sanctuary acoustics

  • Complete integration with our existing sound system

  • Full compatibility with our worship style and needs

  • Enhanced reliability with remote monitoring capabilities

Our Fundraising Goal: $400,000
