A pipe organ has been a major part of the music ministry in worship, providing beauty in form and sound in the sanctuary throughout the life of the church.  The current classical tracker-action instrument was designed and constructed by master organ designer Kenneth Jones of Kenneth Jones Pipe Organs, Ltd., County Wicklow, Bray, Ireland in 1983.  It was constructed, assembled and tested in Ireland, then disassembled and shipped by sea to New Orleans and then by rail to Hannibal.  Mr. Jones and two associates reassembled, voiced and tuned the instrument.  The organ is arranged with seventeen stops and twenty-one ranks.  There are 39 gold leaf gilt visible pipes and 1,087 additional pipes made from lead, tinplate, copper, and mahogany.
