For over a century, the organ at Sewickley United Methodist Church has been the heart of our worship, accompanying countless hymns, celebrations, and moments of reflection. As a vital part of our music ministry, it has brought people together, lifting spirits and enriching worship with its timeless beauty.

In 2014, we began restoring this beloved instrument, but due to funding limitations, the work remains unfinished. Now, we are launching the next phase of the Restore the Organ campaign to complete the restoration and ensure the organ can be fully used in worship services and community events. With your support, we can preserve this cherished instrument for years to come.

Why the Organ Matters

It is more than just an instrument—it is a symbol of our musical tradition and spiritual life.

It plays a central role in worship, accompanying choirs, instrumentalists, and congregational singing.

Its ability to convey both solemnity and celebration makes it a vital part of services ranging from weddings to funerals, Easter celebrations to Christmas Eve services.

Beyond worship, it is a key element in our community’s musical life.

We have hosted organ recitals, special performances, and community events that highlight this incredible instrument.

Restoring the organ is about preserving this legacy and ensuring that future generations will experience its unmatched beauty.
