The organ has mechanical key action with 27 stops on two manuals and pedal. The organ was inaugurated on October 2-3, 1976.
- The Bates organ was delivered in 1853 to Saint Paul's Episcopal Church in Radcliffeborough, Charleston. It served until 1912. It was replaced in that year by opus 423 of the Austin Organ Company. This was placed behind the Bates front. The organ was moved from the gallery to the east side of the church. In 1949, the congregation merged with Saint Luke's Episcopal Church. In 1974 it was decided to have a new mechanical organ built in the organ case from 1853.
