In 1954 bouwde de firma Möller een nieuw drieklaviers orgel met 47 stemmen voor de First United Methodist Church in Grand Rapids, Michigan. In 1973 werd een antiphonal organ geplaatst met zeven stemmen. Dit was een tweedehands instrument, eveneens van Möller. Het werd gekoppeld aan de speeltafel van het hoofdorgel. In 1993 voerde R.A. Colby een grote revisie uit. Er werd hierbij een nieuwe vierklaviers speeltafel geplaatst. In 2004 is het orgel uitgebreid door G.M. Buck. Sindsdien is het ook uitgerust met MIDI.
