- The building is called Christ United Methodist Church since 1968, but it's much older. It was dedicated on September 3rd, 1899 as the First Methodist Episcopal Church. In 1917, a new pipe organ was installed by Hillgreen, Lane & Co. They replaced this instrument with the current organ in 1950, opus 1140. It contains some ranks from the 1917 organ. In 1965, the organ was rebuilt and enlarged by the same company.
- Möller installed a new console in 1980, with four manuals and pedal. This console was replaced in 2016 with a new three-manual console by Kegg Pipe Organ Builders.
